Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union leaders met with Danny Williams in St. John’s in early April.
As a Canadian Press story put it on April 2, 2009:
"It really does create a lot of uncertainty ... and our members and retired members are uneasy about what's taking place," he [CEP president Dave Coles] said from Halifax, as he was returning from a meeting with Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams.
A day after returning from the meeting, the union decided that the federal government needed to step in an bail out the company. From cbc.ca on April 3, 2009:
Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union president Dave Coles says Stephen Harper must intervene.
"Our demand of the government is that it take care of the Canadian workers.… I want the prime minister to get off his duff and do something for Canadian workers," said Coles.
