Lock out during holidays is strategic. Make sure you walk off the job at high season. Take the company down with you.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE BROTHERS & SISTERS OF USW

In view of the current increases in population within the Greater Toronto Area and the inadequate transit system, I am not making any moves to leave my home New Year's Eve to celebrate. I will watch remotely on my computer at home in Etobicoke, Ontario all the activities from Times Square in the USA and Niagara Falls in Canada.

I encourage the Mgt and union to bargain in good faith. These are hard working employees needing a union contract.

current cost of living index in Canada is at 2%, and Welded Tube of Canada is doing a wage increase of 2% only. That is not going to fly in the current economy. The union should ask for twice as much, 4% yearly increase to keep up with inflation.
