Windsor Salt Strike
Workers to Consider Second Tentative Agreement
On
August 24, the bargaining committees for Unifor Locals 240 and 1959
announced that they had reached a second tentative agreement with the
owners of Windsor Salt, Stone Canyon Industries Holdings Inc. (SCIH),
after in-person meetings with representatives of the company in
Toronto. The workers have been on strike since February 17. This
agreement comes after miners at the Ojibway Mine rejected a tentative
agreement on July 21 because it contained unacceptable union-busting
provisions.[1]
Workers at the evaporation plant and clerical workers at both the mine
and
evaporation plant have not voted on the first tentative agreement as
they paused their votes when the miners rejected the agreement.
Meetings for each bargaining unit to consider the new tentative
agreements are taking place on Sunday, August 27.
Empower Yourself Now is confident that, just as they did with the previous tentative agreement, the salt workers in Windsor, Ontario will work out together how to vote in a manner that upholds their unity and the dignity of labour, as they have done since Day 1 of the strike.
