Statement from the Mayor on New Vale Collective Agreement

I would like to congratulate Vale and the members of Steelworkers Local 6500 on their new five-year collective agreement.

Vale is a critical part of our community, and its Sudbury operation is one of the largest integrated mining operations in the world. The people who work there are our friends, our family members, our neighbours. The past two months have been challenging for many people, and it is a great relief that both sides were able to come together, engage in constructive dialogue and reach a mutually beneficial agreement. I wish them continued success moving forward.
