ACTION AGAINST ISLAMOPHOBIA AND HATE

 

Sisters and Brothers,

 

Federal government has declared January 29 as National Day of Remembrance of the Québec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia.

Five years ago, on January 29, 2017, the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City was subjected to a horrific, hateful, and Islamophobic crime. This place of worship was attacked by a gunman who opened fire on the worshipers, killing six people and injuring many more.

 

Just last June, a man rammed a pickup truck into Muslim Pakistani Canadian pedestrians at an intersection in London, Ontario, Canada. Four people were killed, and another was wounded; all were from the same family Police reported that the attack was motivated by Islamophobia.

Toronto Local reject and denounce the destructive effects of Islamophobia, hatred, and all forms of discrimination and oppression in our communities.

Let’s all seize the moment and remember the fallen victims of hate.

 

In Solidarity

CANADA POST OFFERS NO WAGE INCREASE. ZERO

 

VOTE YES FOR A CLEAR STRIKE MANDATE

 

Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:

The Corporation is not negotiating in good faith with the National CUPW Negotiators.  In simple terms they have not agreed to any clauses in the Collective Agreement. We cannot sit back and avoid a strike if Canada Post does not continue to negotiate, not this time.  Every member has to come out to vote to protect all of our rights.

AMENDED STRIKE MANDATE VOTE

 

Sisters and Brothers,

 

The Strike Mandate Vote Agenda will be as follows:

 

  1. Reading Harassment Policy and the Land Acknowledgment
  2. Presentation from the Local, Regional and National
  3. Voting will start after the short presentations.

 

Listed below are the dates, times and locations of where the ratification votes will take place:
