Boycott Molson products!



I did a radio story on the Molson workers here who are striking.

They were really positive, friendly folk, who are striking because the Molson Management is cutting wages for all new hires by seven bucks an hour.

Management assumed that the previously hired workers, many who are getting ready to retire, wouldn't care about the new hires. They even offered increases to the existing workers, like a bribe.

Hah!!

Solidarity!

The workers said they wouldn't compromise their solidarity and wouldn't feel right working next to people doing exactly the same job for 7 bucks an hour less.

They are asking people to boycott Molson products - Molson, Coors, Rickard's Red, Heineken and Corona - until they are off strike.

Molson and Coors are one company, and there are rumours that it will be bought up by Miller, an even bigger American conglomerate. Miller would be a heck of a lot less interested if they were worried about the labour dispute . . .



Thought I'd let my blog friends know about this.

When my radio spots are uploaded I'll add a link.
