"Stop the intimidation of E.C. Drury members"

December 2, 2008

The management at E.C. Drury was sent a clear and simple message this morning: stop intimidating OPSEU members. Eighty per cent of staff at the Provincial School for the Deaf in Milton are seasonal unclassified. They work full-time hours from September to June each year without the security of a permanent job. On top of that, OPSEU members who exercise their charter rights to be active in their union are subject to intimidation from management. At this morning's picket, support for E.C. Drury members came from members of Locals 229 and 234, as well as Nathan Aubin, unclassified member of the OPS bargaining team, OPS mobilizers from Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the provincial OAD and unclassified mobilizers.
