Deal struck to end CAW blockade
Posted By RICHARD BEALES

A deal has been struck to end as early as Tuesday the blockade by workers of Meridian Automotive Sevices Ltd. on Henry Street -- but the company itself is not part of the deal.
The Xerox Corp. instead played the role of key broker during a motion at Superior Court Friday. Xerox, whose equipment and product was blocked inside the plant by workers demanding severance consideration by Meridian, worked two deals during court recesses to pave the way for an end to the impasse.
First, it off ered to pay landlord Brant Business Park $122,000 to secure the release of its property. That offer, representing the amount Xerox owed Meridian for its manufacturing services, was quickly accepted by the landlord's lawyer, who then left the courtroom.

Above is the bill in June on EI reform... While Mr. McColeman voted against this bill, it had the support of a majority.

Rather then working on this bill for EI reform, the Liberals and Conservatives decided to pretend to threaten an election, then take the summer off for the BBQ season.

Here is Mr. McColemans voting record... on EI and everything else including many more lop sided trade agreements.
