The transit strike is still ongoing, and it appears Halifax Regional Municipality's Water Workers may be heading toward a strike as well in the very near future. We want to show support for our transit workers and water workers and tell HRM to protect public services and sign a fair deal.
Please join us for the rally and show your support for. After the rally, everyone is invited to head to the ATU office in Dartmouth for a solidarity BBQ :)
Hope to see you there!
