As the economic crisis continues, governments and employers are bringing in
austerity measures, lowering our living standards and working conditions. A
number of unionized workplaces are particular targets, and have the
potential to become key centres of resistance. Listen to and engage with
representatives from:
- Local 1005 Hamilton Steelworkers (facing a lockout and concession demands
at US Steel);
- City of Toronto Municipal Workers from Local 416 (bargaining with the new
Ford administration in Toronto);
- Canadian Union of Postal Workers (dealing with concession-laden bargaining
talks).
