Opposition Leader Yvonne Jones will be in Happy Valley-Goose Bay today to meet with Vale Inco union representatives regarding the strike at the Voisey’s Bay site. Jones will meet with union officials at 10am to discuss the current impasse with the company and visit the picket line to discuss issues directly with striking employees at 11am.

“I am visiting these employees today to demonstrate my support for their cause and encourage the company to settle this dispute in a timely manner,” said Ms. Jones. “These employees are hard working, dedicated individuals who have built and grown the Voisey’s Bay mine site to the mega project it is today. They deserve respect from their employer and I encourage Vale Inco to get back to the table and resolve this dispute as soon as possible.”
