Members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are locked out at Canada Post, and members of Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) are on strike against Air Canada and picketing at the Halifax Stanfield Airport and other airports across the country.
The Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council and affiliate unions stands in solidarity with CUPW and CAW members in our community, who are fighting identical battles against pension claw-backs and to ensure that the next generation of workers are able to live in dignity without two-tier wages.
Labour rights are human rights. The labour movement will stand up against attacks on the free collective bargaining process, including the right to strike, and will defend the pensions, wages & benefits of our Sisters and Brothers and future generations of workers.
The Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council visited the picket lines at the Halifax Airport and at Canada Post depots today to express concrete solidarity.
