On this first day of strike for PA, EB, TC and SV units at Treasury Board, members were active on picket lines across the country, showing the employer that they are ready to take action and continue fighting until the government comes back to the table with as fair offer. Photos have poured in from cities from coast to coast — Halifax, Sarnia, Edmundston, Calgary, Gatineau, Ottawa, St. Catharines… the list goes on!
Meeting in Ottawa this week, the CIU National Board of Directors, including CIU National President Mark Weber, also joined striking members on the picket line today, along with PSAC National President Chris Aylward and PSAC NEVP Sharon DeSousa, standing in solidarity with all TB workers, and clearly signaling to Treasury Board that an affront to one is an affront to all. By refusing to bargain fairly at the table, the employer hurts us all.
