Picket lines have gone up around the U.S. Steel Canada plant in Hamilton after 900 workers were locked out Sunday in a dispute over pensions. About 400 workers and supporters gathered at the company's main gate on Wilcox Street to shout their disapproval at the company's demand for radical changes in their retirement system.

Comment by Joseph Skues on November 9, 2010 at 4:13: http://bit.ly/noMOREpensions here is the direct click to the story. In fact all workers deserve a true pension. None of this savings account stuff for me.

Comment by Dave Trumble on November 9, 2010 at 3:33: Time for off shore companies like US Steel to realize that Canadian Workers are not about to give up things like defined benefit pensions just to suit offshore companies and their off shore mantality.
