Hamilton Workers Strike for Fair Pay and Safety | Edmonton News

Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

Over 1,200 workers at National Steel Car in Hamilton walked off the job after rejecting a new contract — the highest turnout in union history. Demands center on wage increases that match inflation and meaningful control over an incentive program that’s pushing workers to take dangerous risks just to earn bonuses. Critics say the program may even be tied to past safety tragedies, and despite recent pay hikes, workers fear those gains can vanish if targets are missed. The company remains silent as this marks the second major strike in three years, with workers determined to fight for fair pay and safe conditions.
