Thousands of union activists will be going to Hamilton on January 29 to show support for 900 steelworkers locked out by U.S. Steel since early November. The Toronto & York Region Labour Council is helping to co-ordinate the turnout, along with the Ontario Federation of Labour and Canadian Labour Congress.

This struggle has a number of key dimensions that relate to all Canadians like, de-indexing pensions, two-tier benefits, New Canadian Benefit and exposing the culprits of callous company tactics.
