One thing about Cape Breton, the labour unions know how to scare new business away! I would guess that businesses looking to move into Cape Breton would be taking notice of this protest. It sounds like the government has a reasonable request. i.e. let's see what company comes in here and then and only then we could tell you waht the deal is. But no, they want a deal before the buyer is even announced. Do they think that companies are asleep? The I/me argument will always do the CB's in. Too bad! News for Saturday, February 19, 2000 (CB Post) (Picture) Frustrated Sysco workers and their families crowd the doorway leading to the Provincial Building in Sydney Friday to show they want action on the pension issue after the privatization or closure of the steel mill. Photo by Wes Stewart Sysco workers take to the (Text) streets By Wes Stewart Steelworkers flexed their muscle Friday to show government their patience is getting short as they wait for answers to pension issues and the future of Sysco. More than 500 steelworkers and members of their families braved frigid temperatures to make an orderly march on the satellite cabinet office in the Provincial Building. President Bill McNeil told office manager Alf MacLeod, himself a laid off Devco worker, that the next demonstration might not be as peaceful if they don't start getting some answers from the government. “If the premier said he was going to take care of steelworkers we want him down here to tell us how. There is not a nut or bolt leaving this plant until every sale opportunity has been exhausted,” McNeil said. MacLeod attempted to get Premier John Hamm on the phone to ask him to meet with the unions on the pension issue. Steelworkers are angered by a letter that said talks on pensions have been postponed until the sale process is complete. Economic Development Minister Gordon Balser and the bureaucrat responsible for the Sysco file Jim Spurr notified the Sysco unions they wouldn't be attending a second meeting dealing with the pension issue.
