Soon after my election, this company went bankrupt and the plant located in my riding faced closure. This meant that some 300 employees, the majority of whom were members of the steelworkers local, would be losing not only the wages owed for the work already performed, but also pension benefits, among other things.
Par le fait même, presque 300 employés, dont la majorité étaient membres du Syndicat des métallos local, perdraient non seulement leur salaire pour du travail déjà accompli, mais des avantages relatifs aux pensions notamment.
