6,000 municipal workers set to strike in Lower Mainland

| July 16, 2007

Show Notes:

Workers in a number of municipalities around the Lower Mainland have been without a contract for over 7 months.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees says that the GVRD Labour Relations Bureau is demanding rollbacks at a time when city coffers are full.

CUPE is also concerned that the municipalities are asking for a 39-month contract that will expire immediately after the 2010 Olympics.

We speak with Barry O'Neill, CUPE BC president.  >> get more info
