  • In Solidarity Brother.... I understand fully... I was layed off after 12 yrs the first week in Feb in Winnipeg. My prayers are with all of the members that have been hit by all of this.

  • Nice job, I read about this in the AMM. My hours have been cut and I worry that it's going to get worse.  Good luck!

  • Thanks, and good luck to you as well. I haven't had the chance to read the article, is it available online?

  • Thanks Jake. I hope something good come of this too. I would love to play and write music for a living.

  • Nice tune Cino. You been pluggin away for years . Keep it going

  • Thanks S.D. Willy...

  • My husband went through this five years ago and because we were a rinky dink company nobody cared but it can happen to anyone, this puts it out there for all...

  • This song is so sad. I listen to it and think it's from a different era but then I look at the Spec and know it's happening now.

  • nice job remo, hopefully you start a music career, beats hammering spikes all day

  • Great video and song. I wasn't an employee at US Steel, I was a contractor. I worked for MultiServ working inside the BOF and Caster. Great song, I'll share it with the other guys I know from the mill. I was at the union hall this past week and apparently they are having a gathering downtown Hamilton at the convention center this Saturday the 21st @ 1:00pm. I'll forward any pictures I get to you Rcino if you like.

  • The Kitchener-Waterloo Record also carried the story from the spectator. You never know how life goes man, maybe this is the time that you step off the steel plank into making money with your music. I wish you best of luck and wellness in the future,

  • everyone is hoping this economy turns around, your friends at Dofasco are praying for you

  • Add a boy. I am ,was an electrician in USS, off work a month now. I wish USS still Stelco. and we can work for Canada go through this recession. look forward...

  • Well done, brother...gotta go check the Job Bank website now! GENE (Electrical)

  • thank you for sharing your song and allowing the worlld to know what our city has been built is being ripped away from us. Everyone in my family has worked there at some point or another and the way the employees are being treated breaks my heart.

  • As a former Hamiltonian, and Steel Worker (Ore Docks Heavy Equipment Operator) I have to congratulate you. Yes, the tune's a bit rough, but the message is loud and clear. This is the final nail in the coffin of the former "Ambitious City". Well done.

  • I'm just glad people are listening. I know it's just a song but music can say so much.

  • I am really glad the spectator mentioned your song on the front page. This song should be heard by so many more people. I wish it didn't have to be written, but it is very good

  • I haven't even seen the paper yet. Cool..

    Check out my latest video, it's very Lennon sounding..Intentionally of course.

  • u got a career in music so ur fine

  • Great song Remo. I recommend the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. The educated ( poor dad ) told the kid to do well in school and find a secure job. The so-so educated ( rich dad ) ( his friend's father) told the kid that there is no such thing as job security so it's best to build a business. Writing songs like we are doing is a good start. If I lost my job, I wouldn't blame the company, I would blame myself for choosing to work for a company that sucks. A job is a short term solution to a LT problem.

  • Your right about job security in today's world. However, when most of us started @ Stelco in the 60's & 70's, there were "jobs for life". My generation is the last of the working class to have it good.

  • Remo you've captured the passion and frustration of this sad moment in Canadian history. Every generation has had that someone who has given a voice to their movement, their protest and their pain. You've just joined the ranks of Guthrie, Baez, Seeger,Lightfoot etc. We're proud of you Cat & Carlo

  • Thank you from a 29 year old guy laidoff from Dofasco.

  • nice job remo

  • I thought that I got out while the getting was good. I hope that the pension & benefits hold out. Good luck Brothers & Sisters. Great video!

  • My dad just retired 2 weeks before the shut down :) Talk about great timing...

  • nice song makes the reality of whats going on so damn real.Thank you

  • my dad is getting laid off from stelco too >.>

  • Our family's main breadwinner is also losing his job with this shut down!! Good luck to us all and may god bless you!! Thank you!!

  • Just saw your story on the news. Very nice song. Best of luck.

  • i just saw that too! :D

  • Greetings from Quebec! The struggle of the Stelco steelworkers is the struggle of all workers! An Injury to One is an Injury to All! One for All and All for One! Whose economy? Our Economy!

  • U were Working Salary? ENOUGH SAID....Go Back to your Bubble u IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!

  • .Am I gloating? NO!! But I can't live in a delusion either, that somehow between poor management and the other factors, uncompetitiveness finally kicked in.

  • This whole schmozzle started in 1982 with Cec. The union never took any concessions, but since then the salary always bore the brunt. Yes, poor management was a big factor (think Jim Alfano)but with all our best tech (coilbox etc) licensed around the world to the steel companies, and them having cheaper costs and wages etc, it was bound to all combine and hit like a brick between the eyes

  • I wonder what the big surprise is. US Steel has idled a good percentage of its US operations too. Look at how long it took to find a buyer... that should have told ya something. I was working salary and we were taking a hit on our benefits. our salaries, jobs were consolidated when someone retired and you just got more work and responsibility with no pay raise.

  • WOW!! i agree with the feeling and sentiment in this video and the lyrics. Good work!!!! Awesome!!!

  • my apologies for the distortion. It sounded good on my computer before I uploaded it. does anybody have any advice on how I can prevent this in the future?
