Temp Worker? Surge Casual? WE WANT YOU ON THE PICKET LINE!
Temp Worker? Surge Casual?
WE WANT YOU ON THE PICKET LINE!
As of May 24, 2011 at midnight, both the Union and the bosses are in a legal position to take job action. The Union has been working hard at the bargaining table to secure a fair contract for all workers. In the local we have been working hard to make sure everything needed in the event of a strike or lockout is in place.
You have probably seen picket lists on the Union’s bulletin boards indicating shift times and locations. If you are a Temp or Surge Casual, and don’t see you name on any of the lists in your work area, please call the Union Hall at 604-685-6581. We will place you on a list and ensure that you receive strike pay.
CUPW draws its strength from all of the membership. Temps and Casuals are a big part of that strength!! We want you to join us on the Picket Line, and show the bosses that we are united against their rollbacks!
