REMINDER: THIS WEEKEND SATURDAY, DEC 20th, 11AM RALLY TO STRIKE BACK!

Final reminder for this coming Saturday’s rally, a collaborative organizing effort from the Vancouver 846 Organizing Committee and the East Van Workers Assembly. The rally will start at Victory Square, 200 West Hastings Street. There will be speakers and by a march to The Post, 399 West Georgia Street. Both the start and end of the rally are close to skytrain stations for maximum accessibility.

Come dressed expecting rainy weather, as the rally is completely outside.

(…although, we hope for once the weather actually cooperates with one of our events…)

We collectively, as rank and file members of CUPW, along with all our allies, need to stand up and say no more! We need to fight for worker rights, fair contracts, and no more government interference! Everybody’s attendance is strongly encouraged, as well as encouraging your coworkers and friends. Similar rallies will be held on the same day in Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, and a collaboration between Scarborough and Toronto. Let’s all make our voices heard: A united working class cannot be ignored!
