Students and faculty from Laurentian University showed solidarity for striking Vale Inco workers at the Clarabelle Mill picket line Dec. 11.
A “class” was held to discuss the causes of the strike.
“Sudbury has always been a mining town with strong union traditions,” said Steelworkers Local 6500 president John Fera, who represents the more than 3,000 strikers.
“We welcome all those who want to understand why we are in this fight and how the entire community has a stake in the outcome.”
The session was sponsored by the Laurentian University Faculty Association (LUFA) and Laurentian Canadian Federation of Students (CFS).
LUFA donated $4,000 to help families affected by the strike at the event.
