The Saskatchewan NDP is calling for action to keep steel workers on the job in light of the Federal Court of Appeal overturning the approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.
NDP leader Ryan Meili is calling on the Premier to develop a schedule for replacement of existing pipelines in this province to keep steelworkers employed.
He says this decision from the Court of Appeal and Trump’s tariffs on Canadian steel, endangers hundreds of jobs at Regina’s Evraz steel plant.
The NDP with support from United Steelworkers union, has called for the introduction of a ‘best-before date” system to develop a schedule for replacement of existing pipelines to create jobs and protect the environment.
