Boycott CAT in Canada

Quick Update

As announced last week, we are devoting much time to help the 450+ families destroyed by Caterpillar Inc (CAT) in London, Ontario. While Roots GPK and Friends will sacrifice on its number of daily postings, we will continue to post as much as possible!

These London Workers were ordered to accept a 50% wage cut or lose their jobs. Who anywhere could accept that? Who has much left from their pay cheque after food, housing, transport ... and many of these workers have reached the age, with 25+ years seniority, with their kids now in university and that added expense!

CAT is moving the jobs to the USA, where workers will have to accept half the wage rates paid in London.

In one week Boycott CAT in Canada has seen exponential growth with 800+ Members, many being empathetic Canadians from coast to coast.

Our first project is the undertaking of a documentary about this case. It will be a video montage of press reports and employee interviews mixed with still photos of workers from around the word standing in front of famous landmarks holding up small "Boycott CAT" posters, in solidarity with the London workers.

Our first official letter was sent today, as seen here, putting CAT on notice that we want them out of Canada. If our workers are not good enough for them, they are not good enough for us!

Military Wives Choir

This video is taken from a British series where a guy called Gareth Malone takes a group of people and turns them into a choir.

This time he's taken a group of military wives whose husbands are all away in Afghanistan and turned them into a choir.

Gareth looks about 16 years old but is actually in his mid-30s and a Choir master for the London Symphony Orchestra, among other things.

They wrote a song based on excerpts from letters written by the couples whilst apart and this is the beautiful result.

The single is out in the UK and thousands have been pre-ordered and all the money raised is going to military charities.

Enjoy!

Thanks Wayne!
