The United Steel Workers of America - Toronto - $20,000 to the NDP NL - the largest single donation to any party in 2010.
The United Steel Workers Union - Etobicoke - $20,000 to the NDP NL - the largest single donation to any party in 2009.
The UFCW International Union CLC - Washington DC - $10,000 - tied for the largest single donation to any political party 2008.
I will say this - to give away Muskrat Falls for short term jobs and no long term industrial jobs in Labrador is not acceptable. This certainly calls into question - how the NDP will position themselves on the Muskrat Falls issue - when these unions want construction and service work.
Maybe that's why most of us are confused on where the NDP stands on the issue. We do know that the NDP in Nova Scotia is for it and we do know that the federal NDP support it - so Lorraine Michael is going to have to state her position clearly.
What makes matters worse is that in 2007 the burden of labour contributions to the NDP NL fell to local unions - however that has since moved to the national and international unions.
