Upertydate strike info.

CKOK radio interviewed five strikers on today's AtjiKangitut show.

From different communities one woman and four males gave their views and thoughts on the eight week strike, in two languagess yet..
One said they supported the principal of the strike but was finding it difficult for them as well as the family financially. They went on to say there is thought of finding another job and even contemplation of leaving the area.
All four others said it is difficult financially and physiologically for them and their families, all added, when asked, that they strongly believe that they are being treated unfairly by VBNC with the wage and benefit package being offered and vow to see the issue to the end. One said his job at the site is the most money they have eared in their life, but fairness takes precedence over personal gain. Wouldn't it be a great world if that could rube of on others I can think of?

Oh yeah, seems an RCMP chopper is flitting too and fro in the area, now that is an anomaly.
