RESISTING THE CORPORATIONS Vale-Inco strike now longest in Sudbury Basin history http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/?lid=3612

"Our fights now, more than ever, are with global corporations. If we're going to have the capacity to take them on, we've got to have not only the networks, but the solidarity."The strikers have had homes repossessed; experienced daily harassment from AFI International, a professional strike-breaking outfit, and security guards;

and had draconian restrictions placed on picketing, enforced by their own union leadership. Vale-Inco owns mines around the world. In 2006, Inco was the world's second largest producer of nickel. Aside from labour issues, Vale has had disputes with indigenous groups, and been beset by environmental concerns over mine run-off as well as accusations of human rights violations.
