Meet Locked-Out
Smelter Workers from Quebec
We beat Rio Tinto in Boron,
now let's beat them in Quebec
Solidarity from L.A. union members helped 600 families beat a 15-week lockout by Rio Tinto at the company’s U.S. Borax mine in Boron.
Now Rio Tinto is going after 780 families at a huge aluminum smelter in Alma, Quebec, Canada. The company locked-out these families on December 31, 2011 after they dared to oppose Rio Tinto’s subcontracting scheme that’s destroying good jobs in their community.
Three of the locked-out smelter workers will be coming to the Southland to participate in solidarity actions to pressure Rio Tinto to end the lock-out.
Come to the L.A County Fed and give these brave Quebec workers a big and warm L.A. Labor welcome!
Lunch wil be provided.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 22 at 11:00AM
WHERE: LA County Federation of Labor, 2130 W. James M. Wood Blvd., Los Angeles
