Upbeat rally at Participation Lodge picket line
October 15, 2012
Members of OPSEU Local 235 at Participation Lodge held a strong
rally at the employer headquarters on Wednesday. October 10. Voicing support for
the bargaining team, members called for financial transparency and a return to
the bargaining table.
Approximately 50 people were in attendance including members of
OPSEU Local 253, Community Living Elmira, members from other locals in the area
and OPSEU Executive Board member, Deb Tungett. Rain and hail did not dampen the
upbeat mood of the event, as members and their allies danced on the line.
The provincial mediator has called both sides to the bargaining
table on Wednesday, October 17.
