Dispatch from Labourstart's Derek Blackadder:
Two strikes in three Canadian provinces are not only each about 6 months old now, but are ongoing through the holidays. I won’t even mention the weather.
Both Unions, CEP and the Steelworkers, are looking for your support as they try to get Cadillac Fairview and Vale Inco back to the bargaining table.
Following each link and sending a message will take 30 seconds out of your day. It won’t make much of a dent in your holiday time, but it could help make a real difference to the thousands of workers walking in the cold.
CEP members locked-out at the TD Centre in Toronto:
