The Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council invites you to a community solidarity rally on Sunday, February 12 at 1:00 pm at Grand Parade in front of City Hall in support of our transit workers and our water workers.

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!
