LETTER: Get us off the picket line and back to work

To the editor: As a worker at the Bombardier plant I feel we should get back to work, let us do our job. My past as a son of a Teamster member I have seen a strong union of brothers and sisters.

As a worker at the Bombardier plant I feel we should get back to work, let us do our job.

My past as a son of a Teamster member I have seen a strong union of brothers and sisters. We want what they fought for back in the 1950s, fair and just wages and lifestyle. Why is Canada selling out our country?

We need a higher percentage of Canadianbuilt products, health benefits when we are old, a decent pension to live our next 10 or 20 years, while we suffer through our old age from giving our sweat n blood to our company.

I am proud to be a Canadian what is left of our red and white maple leaf flag. Who is going to fight for our rights if not for Canadians?

I am proud of the Thunder Bay plant.

When you go to Toronto and see our name on the subway cars and on the GO trains,I can say, "Yeah, I made that."

I was on King Steet. I saw the new light-rail vehicle. Toronto wants them. They look beautiful on the street. I wonder what the great Canadian Joseph-Armand Bombardier would think about all of this?

Corporate greed in deed is on a high these days. I would like to see people working in Northern Ontario and even further north. We have a lot of unused land. The population growth in a few years will be dramatic through out the world. Lets keep our jobs in the north.Fight for a good lifestyle so we can raise our families and maybe want to stay in the north, in Thunder Bay, top of Lake Superior. We are Canadian.

Robert Hill,
Thunder Bay
