USW Plant Takeover Videos on U-Tube

You may find these videos interesting.

WE travelled from Genfast to Koolatron and then to Masonite?

Here is the video. (You may see yourself in the video).
Masonite was the profitable company moving south.



There is also a video of the Collins and Aikman plant takeover.

And Finally there is a video of Bill Baker coming out of Hamilton Specialty Bar with the chains he used to fasten himself to the equipment.

What are we doing now???

I am interested in knowing what other Genfast employees are doing outside of work, much like when I worked at Genfast. We had a number of people who played in various bands, and are still playing yet we don't hear about it.

So, if people wish to email me or get the information to Dave to post, I would be happy to see this stuff on these pages. This includes fishing get togethers or barbecues people would like to have or find out if their is interest.

It can't be all about work or

NEW EMAIL ADDRESS

As you may or may not be aware, when the Adjustment Center received our email address from Bell Canada, it was written incorrectly.

genfastajustmentcenter (notice the missing d and the spelling of center)

the correct spelling would be

genfastadjustmentcentre

This does cause problems for us, however many sources are now used to the incorrect version. Should we get a new email address, we will have to inform our many contacts.

However, there is interest in changing the email address to something functional

The first new email address has been put forward and we will be taking requests for the best new email address.

Steelworker Centre Ajustment Board

The Submitter figured this anacronym could put the action centre in direct competition with the Temporary agencies.

SCAB@BELLNET.CA

Need labour, need good employees, just email SCAB.

Other submissions welcome.
