A general strike is proposed for the United States on November 2nd, 2008. The general strike movement has no clearly named leadership. It’s described as an Internet viral effort.
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_phenomenon defines /viral/ efforts on the Internet as:
An object (or an idea) is viral when it has the ability to spread copies of itself or change other similar objects to become more like (it) when those objects are simply exposed to the “viral object.”

Story Brief: TRG, Corporate Responsibility, Union Busting?, and More
admin @ July 29, 2008 # No Comment Yet
We’ve been doing a good amount of scratching beneath the surface - sadly Niagara-based media thinks that “one phone call” is actually called “reporting”.
On Aug 2, the proposed date that former U.S. - owned TRG employees are to recieve their severence packages.
In the meantime we’re simply posting a “brief” so you have an idea of what to look for this coming Friday/Saturday.
BRIEF - the Situation So Far:
“MichCon/DTE, AT&T, Union Energy (Canada) , RBC Insurance, and Obama For President hired a company that was knowingly closing 2 offices in Ontario, putting 700+ people out of work.
Represented By the Int’l Steelworkers, the company hired by the above - TRG/Telespectrum - appear to be reneging on a contractual severence Agreement based on the July 23rd closure of the Office.
Approximately 100 workers at the St.Catharines office have been denied their severence package - leaving the Union to file a formal Grievance.
The cost of litigation can be high and can drag forever in “official channels”.
Almost NO Provincial and Federal Politicians have ‘reacted’ to the situation, holding out little hope that the American -owned TRG (based in Pennsylvania) will actually come through without forcing the Union into litigation.
Few others have spoken out, whereas NDP MPP Peter Kormos has at least sought to learn something of the background.
We have attempted to contact this company that is essentially an agent for the above named companies.
We have attempted to contact the Companies that have hired - and retain - contracts with TRG.
We have attempted to rec’v comment from Provincial and Federal reps in the cities that have seen a TRG office close.
