Tony Clement is a liar. The right wing conservatives are supporting union busting, privatization, private health care, lower paying jobs, no pensions, no benefits, no seniority rights etc...Trouble is brewing already and the rich Brazilians who are used to running 3rd world country workers, are in for a surprise in Sudbury. Solidarity!

The banks are pissed? you mean the same criminals who are robbing the world blind through "stimulus" bills? Doesn't matter if they are the giant or not, the thing is these are companies and governments who don't care about human rights.

[SniperViper1000]

No, but the USW jsut fucked over the miners. So ALOT of them didn't get christmas.

You guys are all ready replaced. Sudbury isn't a Nickel Giant hasn't been since the 90's. The banks are pissed get a new job and stop suffering. Pay those bills and give yoursefl and your family a Christmas.

my support goes to all workers striking in sudbury. i work in a non union mine but understand that your hard work and sacrifices when you go on strike affects the wages of EVERYONE in the mining industry so keep up the good work guys and I appreciate what you're doing for me!

The view of the world is for slaves and elite and a wannabe minion class and that is going on everywhere. Getting pissed off is a start but an organized plan must be implemented. Canada isn't open for business, it is up for sale. Equality of pain means everyone gets screwed. We can all hold hands and cry but our government views the workers as collateral damage and they are on the side of the international corporate players. They're betting the workers will cave in; well boys, will you?

Money hungry? We are all money hungry, if we all weren't why the strike.

Look, the thing stinks. Vale offered a shit deal and has been reluctant to get back to the table. The 6500 have tried to use emotion to make their point. It is all BS. I don't agree with unions, the auto industry has proved the wate and ineffectiveness of unions in the 21 st century, but I certainly don't envy them and feel they are gettinga raw deal. Not the deal itself, but the fact they can't get to the table.

"On August 14, 2006 Brazilian mining company CVRD extended an all-cash offer to buy Inco for $17 billion. That offer received approval from the Canadian government's investment review agency on October 19, and was accepted by Inco shareholders on October 23."

The main reason why Inco was sold to Brazil was because of the individuals in the stock market. My sister is currently becoming a Mining Engineer and she can't even get experience. What do you expect from people who are money hungry.
