Letter to Minister
Raitt from CUPE
CUPE is standing in solidarity
with the 4,800 striking Teamsters at Canadian Pacific, and
urging the federal government to not interfere with unwarranted
and unnecessary back-to-work legislation. |
| |
|
|
Negotiate with CP as
long as it takes
“CP’s management needs to
understand that hiding behind the federal government is not
going to resolve things,” cautioned Mr. Finnson. “Workers health
and safety and pensions are serious issues and they (the
employer) would be wrong not to settle them.” |
| |
| |
The strike has started
at CP
"We have made every reasonable
effort to get a settlement, said Doug Finnson, vice-president of
Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC). Every union member
knows how important the outstanding issues are. We will not walk
away from the negotiation table. " |
| |
|
|
Commuter trains will
run tomorrow
“We told CP management that nothing
could justify their decision to keep us from operating the
commuter trains,” explained Doug Finnson, vice-president of the
Teamster Canada Rail Conference, which represents the rail
company’s 4,800 workers. “They wanted to fabricate a crisis, but
it didn’t work.”
|
| |
| |
At this time the
Minister will not be interfering
Brother Finnson has reported that
the Minister is keenly interested in the progress of our
bargaining but at this time she will not be interfering with the
process. The rest of our bargaining committee are now arranging
to convene in Ottawa to continue bargaining with the Company. |
| |
| |
Minister of Labour
intervening?
Lisa Raitt, Minister of Labour,
has summoned Vice President Doug Finnson to Ottawa for a meeting
tomorrow. We are unsure what this means and any attempt to
interpret the Ministers actions would be premature. Accordingly,
we must reiterate, until notified, please continue organizing
your strike committees and preparation. |

Benefits/AV during a
Strike or Lockout
This letter is to inform the
membership that, during a legal strike, your day to day benefits
are not covered by the Company’s benefit plans. |
