BARTENDERS & SERVERS STRIKE
All members of Local 2007 are encouraged to support our Brothers and Sisters in their struggle with WEG.
You are reminded that picketing begins at 4:00 pm weekdays and at 12:00 noon on weekends.
Picketing is escalating and further support from area CAW locals will increase.
See the following appeal sent by the National Union to all area Locals.
We all know how difficult it can be to effectively picket at Woodbine and Mohawk.
The battle that our fellow workers face here is ours to share.
For more picketing information call Brian Henderson at 647-504-8499
Message from our CAW National Representative, Brian Stevens:
Thanks to those that made their way to the picket lines last night at Woodbine and beginning today (Thursday) we are escalating the picket line activity and your support would be very helpful. Woodbine has multiple entrances and the more people that come out, the greater our ability to have some effect on the operations there. We have established a picket headquarters at the Comfort Hotel (455 Rexdale at hwy 27) if people want to check in there first to see if any particular entrance needs some added support.
In sol
Brian
