Ontario's emissions standards are far behind the current research. It's time we made changes for the health and safety of our miners. Every worker deserves to come home, and lead a long life. cbc.ca/news/canada/su…

" build up community presence to let them know the people of Sudbury, and the people in Timmins, and the people in Thunder Bay are no longer going to get poisoned underground,” northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/…

"...it's a minor token from the mining industry, the same industry that took him from us." Check out our website to learn more and register your work exposures, so families don't have to suffer further loss. youtu.be/dr0hosfae4c

Canada isn't ready. So long as both provincial and federal governments ignore occupational disease in underground workers, our society suffers. Doug Ford Justin Trudeau Monte McNaughton cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Today, president of USW local 6500 Nick LaRochelle along with minister of labour Monte McNaughton announced a good first step towards ending occupational illnesses from diesel. We will continue to advocate for scientifically safe levels of diesel emissions for our workers

Because of replacement Worekrs, my strike lasted too long. When you dangle a lot of money in front of a worker who is desperate, they get used by the company and left behind. It’s really important that we have #AntiScab legislation that prevents these workers from being used.

A delegation from USW Local 6500 was in Toronto last week at the Steelworker National Policy Conference. They successfully lobbied and passed a resolution that would see diesel particulate on the agenda, across the country. solidarity brothers and sisters ✊ #uswnpc2023

Proposed WSIB appeal deadlines would devastate workers access to justice. It has taken decades for the board to recognize science our miners have always known. Only now can these people finally move forward with appeals and be successful.
