Hecla Mining Co (HL)

[Cincy1]

I hope that you guys are right about the strike, but I don't believe that HECLA is interested in any negotiations. My way or the highway. I think that Union is naïve not to use social media to support their case. If HL was against a system that is not used by any other silver mining companies, then they shouldn't have set the precedence of allowing it in the first place. Since HL doesn't seem to care what the community thinks, they should just fire all of the local union miners and hire from the outside nonunion miners OR sell the Lucky Friday mine since HL says it doesn't affect their balance sheet. Apparently, the market doesn't agree with HL in their assessment of Lucky Friday. I don't think that HL is going to break the union so negotiate in meetings, just don't DO NOTHING.
