New Week

Good day brothers and sisters.

A new week in the bargaining process is underway and the team has stated they are returning to the table. Meanwhile, the employer has issued a notice to negotiate essential services agreements as a matter of process.

I would suggest it is a tactic to intimidate us into accepting an offer to avoid a strike and I hope you will see through that manoeuvre.

If a strike is unavoidable you will know it.

In the meantime keep working to health and safety to show the employer what is essential to do our jobs.

This week I ask you to contact the Liberal Party of Ontario in your riding and express that you as a union member will no longer support their candidates. Get involved in the riding and make your presence felt.

After all, there is a point when you can't laugh it off anymore...

In solidarity, Emidio.
