Good Evening Steelworkers,
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to attend the strike vote. Our message at the meetings has been consistent. We took your demands to the bargaining table, and the Company said No. With 837 members attending the vote, the strike mandate has been given. At 99.9% percent, that mandate is clear. It’s a strong message to Teck, their current offer is not enough. With that, we must take a slight pause. The Mediators have offered dates of January 3rd and 4th, which all parties have accepted. This is a good thing, as all of us need a break to enjoy the holidays, family, friends, and the new year. We can get back to the table with a renewed vigor to get a great agreement for all of us, something that we can be proud of. In solidarity, United Steelworkers Local 7619 Bargaining Committee Comments are closed.
