The common working man,

Blue collar Windsor, a town hard hit now by a massive downturn in manufacturing. A town that was once the envy of all other Ontarian town for it's large paychecks that the autoworkers earned toiling in factories churning out thousands of vans, transmissions and engines. This is an industry that has brought the standard of living up for almost everyone that lives in Windsor and Essex County.

This is unfortunately an industry that is terminally ill. The globalization of manufacturing as well as monetary parity with the US is the virus that is spreading and killing its host body. It is eating the hosts healthy cells and is leaving it hopeless and dying. This industry needs help, it needs stability and it needs some form of government intervention.

If you are concerned with stopping this disease please email:
A- you local MP stating that you think that manufacturing is an industry worth saving.

B-Write a letter to the editor expressing your support for this industry.

I realize that there is a lot of people who think negatively of Buzz and company, but for every job in the industry seven spin off jobs are created.

Each and every person that loses their job has a name, a family, a story. Even though there may be mixed feelings about Unions in general, as Liberals we cannot be callous to those who are losing their jobs and lay awake at night worrying about how they are going to feed their children.
