Apples to oranges Sask potash sure come and start new production ... more jobs... blockage is a CanPotex cartel issue... and gov fear of much lower prices an revenues..

If you are referring to the attitude of the United Steelworkers against Vale in Sudbury and Newfoundland during their 1 year strike then that is not a fair portrait. The United Steelworkers in Canada is a U.S.A based union and have always had confrontations against the Nickel mining company INCO prior to Vale's take over. The silent majority in Sudbury are very happy to see Vale spend $5 billion dollars over the next several years. The Steelworkers ( a U.S based union) are strikeaholics who are led by a militant unionist former Canadian Leo Gerard who likes to promote buy America when talking to Obama but then bash Vale has a foreign company to his brainwashed militant buddies in Sudbury. Canadians are patsies for allowing this union to destroy their manufacturing base in Southern Ontario. Anyhow Vale showed who is boss during the last strike. The union settled for major concessions. Gerard who is from Sudbury rarely visits anymore and is very quiet. How stupid of the union to go on strike a couple of years ago when the stock market was at a 60 year low and nickel $4 a lb.

A Short History of Sudbury Labour – by Mick Lowe(The Steelworkers local 6500 raided the former union Mine Mill in 1959) republicofmining.com "Many Inco workers proved fiercely loyal to the Mine Mill, charging that the raid was inspired and led by the CIA, a claim for which there was indeed circumstantial, thought no conclusive, evidence. The Steel raiders countered that Mine Mill was in fact a Communist-led organization, and that the Local’s leadership had been both dictatorial and disingenuous on the communism issue."
