Local 598 has grown from its roots representing the Production and Maintenance workers at Xstrata Nickel into a dynamic amalgamated local representing approximately 1700 workers in the mines, mill, smelter, manufacturing, offices, services, addiction and health care areas across the Region. 

We encourage our members to talk to anyone employed in any  unorganized workplaces about joining our Union. The benefits of a collective agreement and Union representation are vital to workers in all sectors of the economy.
