Falconbridge prepares for pickets CBC News: Sudbury, Ont.
Local union president Rick Grylls says the union didn't go along with concessions back then, and it won't agree to them this time around.
'If they want to go from $300 million to $305 million in profits, they're not going to do that by taking it away in benefits,' he said. 'And we're not going to lose jobs so these guys can put some money in their pockets.'
Grylls says the union rejected the company offer presented on Thursday because it contained too many concessions, including reductions in health and pension benefits.------------------------------------------- posted 6:54 PM :: reference link ::
