Strike Alert

Ottawa (June 8, 2007) While most collective agreements are settled through negotiations at the bargaining table, some require workers to withdraw their labour to obtain a decent contract. It is a last resort and a heart-wrenching decision for everyone who cast a vote to strike.

Striking workers walk the line to improve their working conditions but also to improve the conditions of every working person. To ensure that striking members know that you are behind them, the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) has launched a new website feature entitled Strike Alert!

This easy-to-use tool will allow members to send messages of strength and solidarity to workers on the picket line and help them build public pressure on the employer to negotiate a fair agreement.

It is a simple way to say “We’re with you 100%!” NUPGE
