February 20th rally

Good day everyone.

The sign says it all.

Thanks to Local 517 and Local 530 and to the members from Local 234 who took the day to protest the unfair treatment this employer is trying to call bargaining.

Thanks also to the board members and Dan Sidsworth from our MERC for their support on a cold and windy day.

Please check out the Local 530 site for a cool little video...

In solidarity, Emidio.

Rally at Bell Cairn/ OCSC

Good day.

The rally at the Beach Road site was well attended and Local 234 provided hot dogs and hamburgers on the BBQ for all who attended. I estimate at least 80 members from area institutions were in the crowd.

Many of the Executive Board members and institution presidents were in attendance to support the issues we are addressing, and we were fortunate to have the chair of the Corrections bargaining team and the Unclassified bargaining team representative on hand to give some words of encouragement and support. Many thanks go out to them for attending.

The Local will continue to bring the issue to the employer and we are planning more events in the future with the opportunity for other institutions to join us.

Please continue to check the different sites listed to the right for updated rally times.

As always, we welcome all of the member's support at the functions.

In solidarity, Emidio.
