A bargaining unit of 70 members in Hamilton, Ontario have been on strike for four months now. Ironically they are on strike against a credit union which was started by unions to protect their members from the banks.

Times have changed though and their employer is now run by management who comes from the banking sector and who aspire to create their own little
empire - by gouging their employees and demanding massive concessions at the bargaining table. These clawbacks include demands to give up sick days and
retirement benefits as well as job security.

Take 30 seconds from your day to send an e-mail in support of these women at:
