Members of CEP 219-0 have been on strike since December 7, 2001 at the Lafarge
cement plant in Bath Ontario. The 63 members are on strike to resist overtime the
want them to work. Currently they have worked excessive OT and they want the
company to hire more workers not make them work even longer than they did.
A scab is a scab and Lafarge welcomes them but the community does not!
