Hi Jamie please share this email to my Steelworkers Brothers and Sisters of local 6500. Having picketed myself and being a Steelworker member of local 1-2010 and have sat in numerous negotiations session and seen up close the greed of employers.

So Brothers and Sisters your fight is true and on the right side of history. Stay strong and Solidarity Forever. Solidarités mes Frères et Sœurs. 

Guy Bourgouin, MPP Mushkegowuk James Bay

We gave the company our proposal on June 2 shortly after lunch.

They have been working on the answer to this proposal for 6 days now.

We had meetings every weekday and we were on call all weekend, they did continue to work on their response throughout the weekend.

We met with them this morning and Vale stated they are still bargaining and continue to work on their response.

Please stay the course and keep up the phenomenal job of building Solidarity.

Thank you, Your Bargaining Committee
