Vale strike continues

More than 2,500 striking mine, mill and smelter workers in Sudbury rejected Vale’s latest offer last week and a local MPP has been out talking to those workers.

Sudbury Nickel Belt MPP France Gelinas says she has visited several strikers over the last week since the rejection of the last offer.

She says with 87 per cent of those who rejected the second offer last Monday, it is important to keep up the spirits of the workers on the picket lines and letting them know there is support for them.

She says the workers want to see their benefits protected and their standard of living protected.

The stumbling block has been over proposed reduced benefits for newer employees.
