Some times the law is an ass.

CBC Radio NL regional news is reporting that the Supreme Court of NL agreed with the VBNC appeal or whatever, that the union local was in breach of some sort of law. The court ordered the steel workers local to cease and desist in its blockade of the VBNC loading facility at Anaktalak Bay.
CBC reported that the cargo ship was held up about 6 K from the loading facility by two speed boats. The RCMP and the coast guard would not come to the aid of the multi national company and remove the pesky blockaders, [well gee whizz] so VBNC went to court.

More and more CBC radio is an ass as well.

Several times CBC has reported that a a "cargo ship" was held up by the strikers. Well it does carry cargo, but it is more a bulk carrier http://www.fednav.com/en/fleet/57_arctic.html . So is this http://www.atlant.hr/fleet/MB_Orsula.html . The VBNC shipping schedule web site http://www.vbnc.com/MarineTrafficSchedule.asp states that both vessels are due in soon. It also has only two vessels scheduled; CBC reported that three vessels are due into Anaktalak in the next several days.
That's a lot of freight to be brought into a remote mine site, that is not producing anything, by large bulk carriers, am I right or am I right?

On the strikers themselves. I wonder if anyone in the community of Nain has thought of perhaps doing a fund raiser for the strikers, at least for the ones who have stuck to the principles of being on strike and manning the picket line here. A number of so called strikes have been working at other jobs since the walk out, presumaby with the locals permission, not kosher IMO.
