Victims of Brookfield

Letter to the Editor: They didn't do it for us; I doubt they will for you

RE: EX MLA Pension Cuts: As president of the CEP Local 29 located in Edmundston, I simply had to send in my two cents and represent my views and the views of my members. I am quite perplexed to see Mr. Jeannot Volpé coming out of the woodwork and crying out injustice because his pension got cut by one third.

Victims of Brookfield: Letter to the Editor

I sympathise with White Birch Paper retirees. Let me tell you what I went through with the CCAA.

I worked for 39 years at the Thurso paper plant. I worked both the night shift and the day shift and this was detrimental to my health. Now that I have retired and should be able to derive some benefit from all those hours spent fighting off sleep, the Ontario Court of Justice has deprived me of that entitlement in the interest of a multinational company.
