Our Brothers and Sisters Need Our Support
As you may be aware, there are two long and difficult strikes by our fellow CAW brothers and sisters that are still in need of support. Our Local has offered some financial assistance but money alone is never enough. The way to help is firstly to be aware and then to participate in any actions or rallies when ever possible. As you know, picket line support, is always welcome and indeed the best sign of solidarity. Please get out there and support these workers.
