Show detail Hide detail

Opening this seemingly impartial press conference, USWA Spokesman Bob Bouchard introduces USWA National Director William Mahoney and members of the Press, here represented by Laurier Trahan for the Sudbury French daily newspaper Le Droit and Gerald Watt of the Northern Information Service reporting for the Globe and Mail.~Mahoney says that the USWA campaign in Sudbury is in response to the communist control of Mine Mill and says that it is impossible for communists and unionists to work together since they have entirely different goals. He denies there is collusion between Mine Mill Local 598 President Don Gillis and the Steelworkers though he compliments Gillis saying that it is possible to cooperate with him since he believes in democracy. Echoing Steelworkers' supporter Bob Carlin, Mahoney says that Mine Mill is morally and financially bankrupt. He claims that Mine Mill's autonomy is as real as the elaborate constitution of the Soviet Union in giving people freedom and democracy.~Mahoney concludes that Steel's victory in Sudbury will be the end of Mine Mill in North America, saying that "Any citizen of Canada with a firm belief in democracy and a desire for social progress would hope that's the truth and I believe it is". <14mn 45s>
