Local Union unhappy with the Canadian Wheat Board

A local union president is taking aim at the Canadian Wheat Board.  Tom Hamilton of the United Steel Workers Union says the CWB is favouring one grain elevator over others in Thunder Bay.  Hamilton says the vast majority of grain is going through the Mission Island terminal while the other 5 elevators are left with the scraps.  The CWB claims they are just finding the best prices for producers.
