Show detail Hide detail

Twelve of the fourteen members of the Women's Steering Committee of the Mine Mill Action Committee present passionate and articulate statements on why they support Mine Mill. The speakers include: Gladys White, Lorna Jackson, Pearl Moyer, Mrs. Landry, Mrs. Bob Sterling, Mrs. B. Mackey and Anita Ouelette, who comments: "What Steel is after are the union dues of the nickel workers to support the fancies of their Yankee playboys! We want a Canadian union with leaders who support their oath of office". Other speakers include Betty DeVito, wife of Bud DeVito, Lucy Bartol and Lillian Cartier. Bud DeVito makes a brief appearance to mock the Steelworkers' attempt to organize the first ever International Nickel Workers Conference, saying that only about 55 paid Steel employees turned up.~Mrs. Burnfield concludes: "You know friends, I feel we merely existed until we were organized by the Mine Mill Union. They gave us security and a peace of mind both at home and on the job that we had never known before, and I intend to do everything in my power to help our men and women retain Mine Mill as our union and rid our lives once and for all of these pompous, lying union blisters". <20mn>
