Picket Captains Needed!

presidentcupe4222Uncategorized

Now that our strike vote is complete and everyone understands the dire situation in which we find ourselves, we’re moving on to the next phase of our planning and preparing. In the event of a strike, we will need 130 strike captains which means – WE NEED YOU!
The role of a picket captain includes:
– represent the local on the picket line
– be the ‘leader’ of the picket line, inspire picketers, solve problems
– act as a liaison and help forward messages to members from the local
– ensure the safety of picketers
– distribute information flyers to individuals crossing the picket line
– ensure picketers sign in/out at each shift to ensure strike pay can be issued
Training opportunities may be available for Strike Captains if time permits.
If you are able to assist us in this capacity please email: secretarycupe4222@gmail.com or call the office at 519.453.4222.
Thank you to those of you who have already expressed interest in being a strike captain. We need to mobilize and ensure we’re adequately prepared. We’re all in this together!

St. Thomas & District Labour Council – Labour Day Social

presidentcupe4222Uncategorized

The St. Thomas and District Labour Council is excited to announce our first annual Labour Day get together.

WHEN: Monday, September 2, 2019 from 11am until 2pm.
WHERE: The Elgin Business Resource Centre, 300 Edgeware Road in St. Thomas

The council will be handing out free hotdogs and drinks to anyone wishing to come and take part. We have teamed up with the local Optimist Club which is providing their food trailer.

It’s important to give the current Ford government the message that we are not stopping our fight for the Ontario workers rights. We are hoping to grow our labour council into the strong entity that we know it can be and with all of your help we can do it.

The power of the people will prevail! We look forward to seeing you on Labour Day.

In Solidarity,
Executive members of the St. Thomas & District Labour Council
