Following the announcement of a no-strike contract between the Canadian Auto Workers and Magna International a number of CAW local leaders criticized Buzz Hargrove for pushing the deal. Bruce Allen, vice-president of Local 199 at GM in St. Catharines, described the deal as "a betrayal of the reason why we established ourselves as an independent union." Bruce founded the CAW Left Caucus and was involved in publishing the anarchist paper Strike in the 1980's.

Linchpin contacted Bruce and in the following interview recorded outside a recent Labour For Brunch Peace before recent anti-war demos, he outlines in detail the problems with the deal and the direction of the CAW and the Labour movement in general.

Apologies for the poor sound quality, but that applause you can hear in the back ground is for American war resisters telling a moved audience their stories of anti-militarism.
