Sudbury News - Leo Gerard says Vale Inco strike may be a long one

[northernboy969]

I appreciate a collective voice, it is the only way we(the people) will ever have a say or make needed changes to Legislation, policy and ingnorant company practices.  Union have many/many positive characteristics!

[northernboy969]

Leo could care less about power. He believes the Labour movement has a responsibility to it's members and the rest of the world. You state you hate the concept of Unions. Fair enough, this does not give you the right to offend, attack or demand that Mr. Gerrard be replaced. You are obviously not a USW Member, you have no say in this matter.

The labour movement ??? buddy that is a term from the 1940's. Get over it. There is a simple solution to this for all unionized workers, they need to take responsibility for their own lives and career. If their skills are so valuable they should be able to get a job anywhere, right ? so dont blame the company, they did not force anyone to go on strike. These union members need to suck it up, and take responsiblity for not having an education or decent career... They are paid very well....

Here's another tidbit of info you moronic simpleton .. a lot of people working at Vale and other companies in the industrial field have college and university educations ... where do you come up with your facts ? .. lol And if your so bursting with worldly knowlegde you yourself should be aware that many college and university graduates are working for minimum wage because our country is outsourcing our jobs .You must have the worst bad breath from all that verbal diarrhea that you spew ..lol

He he... good.... Actually I dont know if he is from Sudbury. I really have nothing against the individual strikers... I absolutely HATE unions.... hate the whole concept. I was in union once (forced to be in it) when I worked for the provincial government and I could eventually not stand the stupid, follow the leader mentality so I quit. However, I feel no empathy for guys making 100k and wanting more more more..... I do believe a lot of these guys made the mistake of following this Jackass...

[LifesonFan4Life]

Ok .. we get it .. you absolutely HATE unions ... may I suggest you pick up a sign and go around Sudbury with your Anti-Union sign publicly denouncing unions and what they stand for to get your point across .. You Vale Blogger ... haha .. your a bigger joke than you'll ever know ...

[somesudburyguy]

I am not excited... this guy just presents himself in such a way, that he sounds and looks like a complete and utter moron. He recites propaganda that is ancient and ridiculous... he is out of touch with reality and not well spoken. It makes me sick that he is the 'leader', what skills does he bring, what unique ideas... he needs to go away fast.. he is outdated and stupid... I am not an inco supplier, and dont work for them in any way. I just hate unions of any kind..

[somesudburyguy]

Of course its going to be a long one you idiot... Inco is only 11% of Vales holdings... do the math.

Look at this dumb french bully.... He is your leader ???? good luck with that.

Hey "Sudburyguy" don't get so excited......what does french have to do with it? Are you an Inco supplier? Sounds like it. You say Inco is only 11% of Vales holdings. Fair enough....why would Canada have allowed such an anti labor deal to go thru? If the world needs nickel / copper then let the market dictate the price. Not the current trend to corporate/government fascism.

[somesudburyguy]

I made the 'french' comment because remember when Jean Cretien used to try and speak English, how stupid he sounded.... this guy reminds me of that. An unskilled, stupid, boozer... with no real thoughts of his own except a craving for power...

[ccsmine41]

Ok, you have cracked me up. Having been away from Sudbury for years, is he originally from Sudbury?

[LifesonFan4Life]

ccsmine41 I just want you to know that was meant for 'somesudburyguy' and not you .. i hit the wrong reply button ...

[LifesonFan4Life]

You made the 'french' comment because your an ignoramus .. end of story .

Just because a person struggles with another language it doesn't render them 'stupid' as you so succinctly put it .. Chretien was a graduate of Université Laval with a law degree .. hardly stupid .. I may not of agreed with his political views but I never deemed him a dullard like yourself ... god your such a joke ... lol
