INTERNATIONAL WOMENS' DAY SOLIDARITY PICKET
FirstOntario Credit Union
March 9th - 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. 688 Queensdale Avenue East, Hamilton
A bargaining unit of 70 women and one man in Hamilton, Ontario have been on strike for four months now. Ironically they are on strike against a credit union which was started by unions to protect their members from the banks. Times have changed though and their employer is now run by management who>comes from the banking sector and who aspire to create their own little empire - by gouging their employees and demanding massive concessions at the bargaining table. These clawbacks include demands to give up sick days and retirement benefits as well as job security. Management takes the position that clawbacks and concessions are necessary despite boasting recently of record profits. Come out and support these strikers
You can also support them be signing on to the Labour Start site and sign>the petition.
