Preparations Intensify for Mass Family
Solidarity March with
Locked-Out ABI Workers
All Out to Make the May 25 March in Trois-Rivières a Grand Success!
ABI workers and allies demonstrated in the
streets of
Pittsburgh on May 8, 2019 where Alcoa's annual meeting of shareholders
was being held.
Enthusiasm continues to mount amongst workers and their
allies as the mass solidarity march for ABI locked out workers draws
closer. Through our own efforts and unity in action let us make the
march in Trois-Rivières this Saturday, May 25 at 10:30 am a
significant event in defence of the working class and its rights!
The United Steelworkers report that preparations are
going well. Many workers and people from different walks of life have
already registered by reserving their seats on buses being provided by
the Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ). The buses will depart from
several Quebec cities with contingents of workers having registered
from as far
away as Chibougamau in Northern Quebec, Rouyn-Noranda in Abitibi and
various places on the North Shore.
The Ontario Steelworkers have announced their
participation in the march. They have faced similar intransigence and
dictate of the global monopolies that refuse to negotiate acceptable
arrangements with their workers along with state-organized repressive
measures such as court-ordered injunctions to deny effective picketing
and bankruptcies
to seize workers' pensions. They have organized buses to make the
journey to Trois-Rivières and report bus seat reservations
continue to come in with others planning to car pool.
As the event is family-oriented, the march itself will
last about an hour to be followed by a lunch with hot dogs. This will
allow people to socialize in a convivial atmosphere and engage in
discussion as to the way forward for the working class in the face of
the state-supported global power of the financial oligarchy.
