WHEN: October 24 at 12:15p.m.
WHERE: Mona Fortier’s constituency office (233 Montreal Rd. in Vanier)
Speeches by:
- Virginia Vaillancourt, UVAE National President
- Toufic El-Daher, UVAE National Executive Vice President
- Case managers from Veterans Affairs Canada
Treasury Board is still insisting on wage increases that fall well below inflation — that don’t keep up with the rising cost of living — for 165,000 public service workers.
We are ready to fight for what we deserve — a decent contract that builds better, more inclusive workplaces, protects workers from the skyrocketing cost of living and ensures quality public services for all Canadians. And we are ready to take action, up to and including a strike, to be treated with respect!
