In its tenth week, the striking members at Goderich salt mine have moved onto a more aggressive tactic – barricading the entrance.
The miners of Unifor Local 16-O have now blocked two sections of the road used to get in and out of the mine.
Those inside the mine are not met with any intimidation or aggressive behaviour, but must walk through the barricade and past the striking members. The barricades are for keeping miners and management from entering the facility.
Unifor member Gary Lynch says this is a necessary step in taking a stance for what Unifor believes is just and fair in contract negotiations.
"We figured there were just no other options. After ten weeks, the company hasn't once said that they want to sit down to the Union. We have reached out and contacted them, we've talked to their head lawyer in Saskatchewan, who said we are too far apart and he said that we have the package, and to take it or leave it," explains Lynch.
As the strike has escalated to the point of barricading the entrance, striking members are feeling backed into a corner as Compass Minerals refuses to budge and come back to the table.
Unifor hopes this necessary step of blocking the entrance to the mine sends a message that enough is enough.
"This is a statement. We're done. The New Brunswick people might as well go home, because if the army doesn't come and move us, we're not going anywhere," says Lynch.
"We're standing here in this place, until we get some sort of effort to get back to the table and get a fair deal and get our men back to work, who should be in there working."
After ten weeks of uncertainty and no end in sight, the striking members remain strong as one unit and want to get back to work, as the impact is now trickling down affecting their families and the local businesses.
Unifor striking member Mike Ferguson and his wife were at the picket line this morning explaining how far reaching into the community this issue is affecting.
"The community is already hurting. I have lots of family and friends who own businesses and they are hurting. While we're out here, we're spending our savings. We usually do trips every summer, but that won't be happening this year," says Ferguson.
"The people they are bringing in, they are shipping them to St. Jacobs and they are not even spending any of their money in our community either. Any money they are making here, it's going somewhere else."
Ferguson has been a part of the Joint Health and Safety Committee at the salt mine for five years and a striking member of Unifor on the front line.
In response to a point of contention on the proposed contract concerning extending the work week to 60-72 hours a week, Ferguson says that, "The number one cause of safety issues is fatigue, and the 60-72 hour shifts a week would lead to fatigue."
Lynch was unable to supply any further information on Unifor's next steps in the case that the barricade is not effective in gaining a response from Compass Minerals.
During this impasse and apparent lack of respect coming from Compass Minerals, for the strikers, for their families and for the community, Unifor's base request is Compass Minerals to send a representative to meet and negotiate.
"I would hope that they would have enough respect for humanity and get back here. This has gone on long enough. They have sent their messages, and we're sending ours. It's time to get the men back to work," adds Lynch.
This afternoon, National Unifor President, Jerry Dias showed up to Goderich after discussions with the union's lawyer. Dias says they are doing everything they can to get Compass Minerals' attention, and are prepared to get back to the bargaining table.
"Ultimately, the only thing that's going to bring this company to any sort of making common sense decisions, is when they are forced to," adds Dias.
"This is a fight worth taking on, and the only way we can win this fight, is we maintain our solidarity. We're all here, we're all committed, and we're all determined. Let's stick together right to the bitter end and make sure we get this thing done."
As the union continues to violate the court injunction, frustration and tempers may arise. There is no end in sight and this strike could very quickly get nasty.
Dias says that he believes the company will depend on the courts to rule that an American corporation, bringing in scab-workers from New Brunswick and Quebec, have more rights than the community of Goderich and the members who work at the salt mine.
"The courts may rule that, but we are never going to accept that. The labour movement was never based and built on the principle of blind obedience," adds Dias.
As the impact of the strike begins to trickle down to families, small businesses and the community with no end in sight, members of Unifor believe this is just the start.

51 on Kloofnek
Another iconic Cape Town hotel has closed its doors :( 51 on Kloofnek (or 51 on Kloof as she was affectionately known) was a Boutique Hotel & Guesthouse in Tamboerskloof/Gardens part of the city bowl in Cape Town. Sadly, it closed closed for business in October 2012. As the name says, it was situated at number 51 on Kloofnek road (next to the start of Warren Street), close to a number of restaurants, bars and shops; a downhill walk into the city; or a short drive to the Cable Car station on Table Mountain, Lion's Head, Signal Hill or the iconic Clifton Beach. Also closeby is the Tamboerskloof Primary School.
The house, a national monument, was built in the 1950s and we're sure this isn't the last chapter of its history.
Want to know more? Read Tripadvisor reviews of 51 on Kloof.
If you're looking for a spot to stay, do not despair as it's easy to find a Cape Town hotel to stay at. Those willing to trade up a few numbers from 51, can go and enjoy the superior views from 129 on Kloof Nek. If you haven't broken the code yet, let me say that they're very proud of their street in this area, and like naming their spots with the street numbers, so it may not surprise to know that there is another spot called "56 Kloof Nek Road".
Want to keep the money in your wallet when you're travelling through Cape Town - then stay at 10 Kloof Road where you'll find the Amber Tree House backpackers.
Opposite the Amber Tree House, at 8 Kloof Road, is a restored Cape Victorian House, named "The Leeuwenvoet Guest House", which was built in 1892, and these days features a lovely deck with a view of the mountain and plunge pool.
The road is filled with touristy restaurants like Miller's Thumb at 10B Kloof Nek Road, which is known for their mud pies and free fish.
The Maharajah Indian restaurant is well known for its hot curries - it's situted on the corner of Kloofnek & Woodside Road.
If you're a bit, dare I say, younger then you may enjoy Rafiki's Bar & Restaurant, which is on the corner of New Church Street & Kloofnek Road (13B Kloof Nek Road), and features not just food but also dancing. A lot of patrons sit in the outdoor area, enjoying playing Capetonians favourite game - people watching.
Kloofnek Road
Kloofnek Road is the only road which rises up from the city all the way to the gap between Lions Head and Table Mountain.
The road starts at the edge of the City of Cape Town, next to Long Street Baths, and is situated a short drive from Table Mountain, Clifton and the city centre. If you're walking to the city centre, then be aware that it's easy to get to as the walk there is downhill, but the walk back up can be very sweaty on a hot Cape summer's day.
At the top of Kloofnek road you find the literal "kloof nek", and this is where the popular pipe track hike begins. The pipes were originally used for carrying water, but now aren't used for anything, other than crazy hikers who try to balance on the pipes as they cross various gullies.
There is even a school next to Kloofnek Road - Jan van Riebeeck Primary School, named after the Dutch settler who in 1652 arrived in Cape Town to start a refreshment station for Dutch ships making their way to the east.
