Please sign the petition to support Cascade Containerboard workers!

Dear Messrs. Plourde and Malo:</p> <p>As a Canadian worker, I am extremely concerned that a Quebec-based company is actively using anti-union tactics against our neighbours in New York state.</p> <p>More than 100 workers voted to join the Machinists Union in April 2019 and have tried to bargain for a fair contract for more than two years at Cascades Containerboard in Niagara Falls, New York.</p> <p>In that time, workers have faced an aggressive anti-union campaign put on by your company which has permanently sub-contracted their work, resulting in layoffs and drastically reducing their annual bonus by 20 percent.</p> <p>What kind of behaviour is this from a Quebec company!!!</p> <p>Despite this, workforce has remained dedicated to their jobs and made sure the mill continues to deliver quality products to your customers through all of this.</p> <p>It’s frustrating to see a Québec flagship act in this way, especially since Québecois are shareholders in the company through the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.</p> <p>All workers deserve to be treated with respect and fairness, whether from Québec, New York State, or elsewhere. Workers deserve better treatment than what they are receiving to date. They voted and are waiting for you to be fair. We ask that you sit down and negotiate an agreement now.</p> <p>Sincerely,
