The Christmas season is upon us and when we have a labour dispute during that time, it is always hard on the striking members and their communities. On December 15, 2009, the Canadian Auto Workers Union, Mine Mill local 598/CAW, on behalf of all the 225,000 CAW members across this country, presented to the striking members and their families of USW local 6500, a donation of $20,000.00 to help them during this period. We strongly encourage both parties to return to the negotiating table and end this dispute.
