    United Steelworkers pleased with woodworkers' union decision to talk merger talk-back.ca Ontario Labour News
    "We will do everything we can to accommodate IWA members and create a merger that works in the interests of everybody."

    McBrearty added that the industries that spawned the Steelworkers and the IWA have been cornerstones of Canada's economy.

    Steelworker President Leo Gerard said the addition of the IWA would strengthen the unions' agenda on international issues, particularly trade.

    "We intend to work as hard with IWA members on the softwood lumber issue, as we have with our members to safeguard the steel industry in North America," he said.
