OHIO!
The U.S. labour movement scored a stunning victory this week as 61% of Ohio voters struck down the anti-union legislation of Governor John Kasich. Earlier this year, thousands of people swarmed the Statehouse in protest when the bill was being heard. Kasich and fellow supporters promoted the law as a means for local governments to save money. But labour and community activists formed a powerful coalition We Are Ohio which painted the issue as a threat to public safety and middle-class workers. It is estimated that both sides spent up to $30 million on the referendum.
Private sector unions mobilized fully as well -- view the great organizing video.

To all the Sisters and Brothers of
C.A.W. 1520

We at L.D.L.C. wanted to let everyone know that the Sisters and Brothers of C.A.W. 1520 will be leaving our labour family with the closure of the Talbotville assembly plant.. As many of you know, Local 1520 has been a vitally important member of our team and has been an instrumental contributor on a number of high profile campaigns and projects. Their strong work ethic, attention to detail, and persistence will be sorely missed. Please join us in thanking the members of 1520 for their invaluable efforts these past 45 years and wish them the very best of luck and our best wishes in their future endeavors.

You will be sorely missed...

Congratulations to the Sault Ste. Marie and Niagara Regional Labour Councils for hosting successful Leadership and Stewards Assemblies last week. In both cases there were excellent presentations, great turnout and the development of good strategies for keeping the pressure on the Conservative candidates on our pension issue.

Please visit our website to find out about any assemblies taking place near you. I encourage you to get as many people out to attend. They are not just for stewards and union leaders, but for anyone interested in participating in the campaign.

Also, our radio and online ads are driving excellent traffic to www.betterpensions.ca and the Prime Minister and his cabinet know that we will not let this issue go until the Conservatives reverse the cancellation of their promise to expand the CPP. You can check out the ads here: http://www.youtube.com/canadianlabour

Keep up the good work.
In solidarity,
Ken Georgetti
President
