CANADIAN LABOUR-STURGEON FALLS ONTARIO:
KEEP THE JOBS IN STURGEON FALLS:
Sturgeon falls is a small community (~5,000 pop) in northeastern Ontario. It serves a mixed farming and all season tourist trade. Recently one of its major employers, Sysco Corporation, has decided to close its operations in the community and expand in southern Ontario. The workers at this facility are represented by the RWDSU Local 431, and they have launched a petition campaign to pressure the company to reverse its decision. Here's the story.

Save Our Jobs at Sysco Sturgeon Falls
Sysco Corporation has decided to close the warehouse in Sturgeon Falls despite the fact that this location is one of the most productive and profitable warehouses in the province. The company has decided to move product out of Sturgeon Falls in attempts to boost productivity in a Southern Ontario warehouse. This move will not only cause the loss of jobs, but take millions of dollars out of Sturgeon Falls' economy. This is unfair, unjust and unacceptable to the workers who have made this warehouse a viable operation. We ask you to click on the link below to sign the petition in an effort to save our members' jobs at Sysco Sturgeon Falls and stop the erosion of good-paying jobs in Northern Ontario.
