Stand Up for Public Services
Please read the letter below received by our local from the Toronto Civic Employees' Union Local 416. Click here for a flyer.
We would like to thank you for the support that you are showing the Toronto Civic Employees’ Union Local 416 as we Stand Up for Public Services and protect Toronto’s recycling and garbage services. On May 17th, or 18th council will vote on a risky and dangerous precedent - whether or not to privatize:
• Residential recycling, organics and garbage collection west of Yonge St.
• Litter collection in all Parks
• Street cleaning
• Other collection across the city on an ‘adhoc basis’
PLEASE CALL 311 and ask to speak to your councillor immediately. You can also click www.keepitpublic.com to find your councillor and sign our petition. Ask them “Why take the risk?”
Please join us at City hall on May 17th or 18th to show that you oppose these contracts worth over a ¼ of a billion dollars going to a private for profit company. Please put these dates in your calendar and bring friends and co-workers down to City Hall, starting at 9:30 am and all the way through the evening. We do not know exactly when this issue will come up for debate. The mayor will likely try to keep the timing of this agenda item secret and change it at the last minute.
Be on alert for further updates – let us know that you can come to City Hall. Just leave us as message at info@local416.com or call the union office 416-968-7800 (ext 257) and we will update you on Tuesday as things progress.
In Solidarity,
Mark Ferguson, President TCEU Local 416
