[edit]

Thank you for creating this article which had long left an important and large gap in the incredibly spotty Wikipedia coverage of Canadian labour history. I believe the name should be changed to "2009–10 Vale Inco strike", with the two changes both being minor and hyphen-related. It looks like a hyphen was used for the date when an en dash is standard for date ranges and is used in similar articles (e.g. 2008–09 York University strike). The Vale-Inco terming I am less concerned with but most media reporting and the company itself (before simply moving to Vale as the singular name) seemingly did not hyphenate it and advertised itself as "Vale Inco" — Northern Miner, Globe and Mail, Canadian Mining Journal, Canadian Newswire, etc. all use "Vale Inco", and it seems as if only that one source hyphenates it as far as I have been able to find. I figured since this is a very newly created article I'd give you a heads up and have some discussion on it. If you agree then feel free to make the change yourself, otherwise I'm obviously open to a conversation. I'm looking forward to helping out a bit to grow this article and build up better connections between the loose constellation of Canadian labour history articles.
