UFCW 1518 Supports Locked Out Nelson City Workers; BBQ And Rally On Monday
UFCW Local 1518 President Brooke Sundin commented that the lockout has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the labour movement in BC.
“Our Union supports the Nelson city workers fully and completely,” said Sundin. “The mean-spirited actions taken by Nelson’s city officials are very short-sighted, and are certainly not in the best interests of anybody, especially the citizens of Nelson.”
“This is unprecedented,” says Barry O’Neill, CUPE BC President, whose union represents Nelson’s city workers. “I certainly haven’t come across a municipal lockout in my quarter century in BC’s labour movement.” CUPE BC is the largest union in the province and of its 70,000 members, 26,000 are municipal workers.------------------------------------------- posted 6:29 AM :: reference link ::
