    Teck Cominco threatens to shut Trail smelter if union strikes: notice served - CBC News, Canada
    Teck Cominco Ltd. has drawn a line in the sand, saying it will shut down its lead and zinc smelting operations in Trail if unionized employees follow through on a strike threat.

    The United Steelworkers of America stepped across that line Friday, serving 72-hour strike notice which could leave more than 1,300 people on the picket line as early as Tuesday.
