online campaign, labourstart, strike
61 building service workers at the Toronto Dominion Centre in Toronto were locked-out and then fired by their employer when they refused to agree to the gutting of their collective agreement. They were forced to celebrate Christmas on a picket line almost 6 months after being forced off the job. Their union, CEP, is asking you to send a message to Cadillac Fairview, the company that manages the TD Centre. Tell CF that enough is enough! A copy of your message will go to the workers on the picket lines.
30 seconds is all it takes: go HERE to send a message to Caddillac Fairview.

LabourStart Conference, labourstart
We were expecting some pre-registrations for sure, but in the event the response to a very limited call-out has been overwhelming. Thanks to all who have responded, you're helping us with conference logistics, as well as the agenda.
As of today 382 people from 64 countries have pre-registered.
We know not all who have expressed an interest will be able to come, but it is encouraging to know so many would at least like to.
If you have not yet pre-registered and would like to, go HERE
