Rumor.

There is a rumor that the steel workers local on strike has reached a tentative agreement with VBNC. If it is true then there is to be a vote on Tuesday to ratify the deal.

One rumor that had been going around for several weeks finely came to fruition today. Over a dozen pieces of heavy equipment came in on the Astron destined for Voisey’s Bay, some sort of road construction. Guess they held off till the blockade was over.
Most people are under the impression that the Astron is dedicated to bringing freight in for the coastal communities, or at least it was.

Done deal Brian.

Sounds like they got what they wanted and deserved.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on this one.
Thanks to anyone who advocated on behalf of their Bretheren in Labrador.
