		<description><![CDATA[The Industrial Inquiry Commission on the Voisey&#8217;s Bay labour dispute is overwhelmingly damning of Brazilian mining giant Vale. If Vale does not accept the commission&#8217;s recommendations to settle the 17-month strike, the Newfoundland and Labrador government must act immediately in the best interests of our province&#8217;s working families, the United Steelworkers (USW) union says. &#8220;The [...]]]></description>
