Mine Union Upset With Premier

A mining union is accusing Ontario's premier of ignoring pleas for an inquiry into mine safety.

The United Steelworkers says it wrote to Kathleen Wynne in May seeking a meeting, only to have the Premier recently respond, rejecting the request and referring the issue to Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi.

Ontario Director Marty Warren is disappointed, saying he hoped the Premier would have taken the issue more seriously than her predecessor.
