Quebec Federation of Labour urging boycott of Shell stations on Friday

From The Canadian Press, June 07, 2010 – 6:21 p.m

MONTREAL – Quebec’s largest union group is urging consumers to boycott Shell Canada’s gas stations for 24 hours later this week to protest the company’s decision to close a Montreal refinery.

The Quebec Federation of Labour wants motorists to show solidarity on Friday with the 500 workers, all but 30 of whom will lose their jobs when Shell shutters the refinery and converts it into a distribution terminal.

The union says it’ll also be present at the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix this weekend, handing out pamphlets at the Formula One event. read more

America faces a problem, a dilemma so fundamental that not even the political skills of Barack Obama can disguise it, heightened by, but not originating in the BP affair: She either risks her environment by drilling for more domestically sourced oil, or she accepts the need to import more from a turbulent world – jeopardising her “energy security”. read more
