On this day I remember that soldiers have died, and continue to die for Canadian society to have freedoms. Freedoms that extend to the right of labour unions to conduct business.
Our local has had brothers and sisters go off to warzones as well.
We wish them safe journeys back!
My family moved here to make a better life for the next generation and we respect the sacrifice Canadians made for all its' citizens. My family members have been Canadian soldiers, cadets and public servants. I was born in Canada and I have lived in the east and west of this great nation. I have seen it from far and wide, and know what makes us the true north strong and free.
I have been an OPSEU member since 1992, and a part of two strikes with many of you.
We braved cold picket lines, hot burn barrels and frozen food to eat.
Members were charged by police, hit by vehicles and sued.
We felt the ravages of the TORY cuts and the meager increases while costs went up and managers made huge sums when they locked us out.
HERE WE GO AGAIN, FIGHTING FOR RESPECT!
OPSEU's President says the offer is a slap in the face, I AGREE!
The employer told us that we are "valued."
This offer makes it seem like we are "undervalued!"
The bargaining team has asked members seconded to management to step into their bargaining unit positions tomorrow.
Simple messages support the bargaining teams!
STEPPING DOWN IS STEPPING UP!!
Show those members who do your respect.
In solidarity, Emidio.
