Local 8782 was first chartered in 1978. We negotiate
collective agreements for our members at U.S. Steel (former Stelco) Lake Erie
Works, Pickling Division, Harsco Services, and ESM. Since our members are
directly employed in the Steel Industry, it is our responsibility to be involved
in the fight to save the steel industry in Canada. For this reason we are
launching this web site to communicate the latest developments that affect
you.
We hope to use this site as another avenue to communicate to
our membership on past, present and future initiatives. If you have any
suggestions of what you would like to see, please use our feedback page and we
will review all suggestions.
