We have received a request from Sarah Colton, a graduate student at Laurentian University, who is conducting her thesis under Dr.Josée Turcotte and Dr. Bruce Oddson.  They are running an online research project investigating job fit and satisfaction and are looking for Northern Ontario workers to complete the survey.

At the current time, they have an excess of management worker responses and they are looking for a more accurate picture by encouraging workers to complete the survey.

The United Steelworkers (USW) International Executive Board issued the following statement today in response to Russia’s continuing attack on Ukraine:

“The USW stands in international solidarity with the Ukrainian people as they withstand deadly and unprovoked violence by Russian forces. Their bravery serves as an inspiration to everyone who fights on the side of democracy and freedom.

“As we seek to end this baseless war, we join with the global trade union movement in condemning the violence against Ukrainian citizens, including our Ukrainian union siblings.
