Update from the picket line
Our burn barrels did not last very long today on the picket line. 🙁
Bargaining Update: We have been in touch with the employer today. We further discussed ways to get the parties back to the table. Both parties are hopeful we will be back at the table soon. Please stay tuned for future updates.
Update on strike pay top-up
The Strike Committee has reviewed the local strike fund finances, and we are able to provide members with an additional $100 top-up on our strike pay for a total of $700/week for 20 hours (4 hours per day) of picketing, starting on the pay period covering the week of April 24th. This is with many thanks to all of those that have donated to our local’s strike fund so far.
