Message: Trouble in the Ring of Fire Mining as Workers Walk off Job

"Cliffs’ workers (all 24 or so of them) are now asking all First Nation communities and Municipalities in Northwestern Ontario to support their protest and to hold Cliffs Natural Resources accountable to being a fair and equitable employer in Canada."

If all of the information is accurate, CLF is indeed acting Scroogelike. This operation though seems to have little more flash to it than having some neighbourhood kids shovel the drive.....with similar pay. CLF will need to get more savvy about the significance of what they do.....but then, maybe they are. Testing the waters perhaps? As Nakina would have us consider, there is perhaps a bigger issue involved in this. I wonder what some FN would look like protesting in a bog miles from public view. I wonder how and where they would make the protest. Of specific note is that this is addressed exclusively toward CLF, unlike the other actions/attempted actions. I think it is very important to get relations right from this beginning though this appears to be a very minor hiccup so far, still needing to be dealt with...... though we'll see what the media tries to make of it.
