Enough already.

A wet weekend with more in forecast.

The strikers over at VB have been taken out, court injunction issued over weekend, peaceful protest at site ended.

The workers on the coast did not make it home though, weather necessitated them flying direct to Goose Bay.

One of the strikers was interviewed on CKOK yesterday, made a good case for their demands, why they are worried about not being on site [possible strike breakers being brought in]. He wondered if any pickets up at the Nain and St.John’s offices of VBNC. Also asked for Nain residents to surround the dock area at VB with speed boats.

Just reported on CBC; seems a company official issued a verbal promise that strike breakers will not be used, this was recorded on a video camera before workers left site.
