(en) France, Groupe Salvador-Segui FA - Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean:
For a region locked out! (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Time passes at the discretion lockouts in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean. After that imposed by
Quebecor workers and workers Journal Awakening in 2009 , it was the turn of the employees
of the factory Rio Tinto Alcan Alma suffer the same fate in 2012. Add to that the endless
lockout that still persists in almost all car dealers in the region . Before such finding,
why not continue in the same vein? ---- A new aluminum should come in Dolbeau-Mistassini.
The government of Couillard is in talks with the company approached for this project,
Century Aluminium . On 13 May, this American company has locked out 560 employees at its
plant in Kentucky. The reason: the Local 9423 workers of the United Steelworkers have
rejected the employer's offer, judged by the company's " last, best and final ". What the
company does not say is that it tries to impose its demands without negotiating in good
faith, in a clearly anti-union perspective.
The majority shareholder of Century Aluminium , Glencore International Plc , also has
Sherwin Alumina , a company that has just locked out the 450 employees at its plant in
Corpus Christi, in the state of Texas. Glencore is also accused of conduct anti-union
campaigns in South Africa and Colombia to submit the employees of the Peruvian Antamina
mine to violations of their safety and their health. The trading company refuses to rehire
workers and union members working in the mines of Collinsville, Australia.
What are the working conditions of employees of the new plant?
Most ridiculous, in addition to all the violations of the rights of workers, Century
Aluminium requires electricity rates very "attractive" as a condition for its
implementation in the region. We bet that the government will be very happy to offer free
... With all the price increases of recent years and the millions collected too much from
the population, may well Couillard to benefit some friends of these multinationals ...
