President of the 225,000-member national union is expected to attend October gathering
United Steelworkers national president Marty Warren is calling Indigenous members of his union to Sault Ste. Marie for a national gathering next month.
"This gathering will be a place for Indigenous Steelworkers to share their experiences and to contribute to our union’s ongoing strategy for advancing the rights of Indigenous workers and Indigenous communities," Warren said. "First and foremost, I’m inviting Steelworkers of Indigenous ancestry, meaning First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. I am calling on local unions to help us with this important work by reaching out to and sending Indigenous members to this gathering."
At a remarkable Local 9548-organized candidates meeting during last year's federal election, Batchewana First Nation elder Don Waboose was invited to pray, but took advantage of the opportunity to bestow almost half an hour of political wisdom to the candidates, who were themselves allowed to speak just four minutes on each issue.
