No changes for our Picket Lines

 

**Update on our Picket Lines**

Postal Workers:

I want to reaffirm that there are no changes regarding the picket lines. We will steadfastly hold our ground, with management having no permission to enter—just as we have maintained throughout the strike. I take immense pride in every Postal Worker’s commitment on the picket lines, whether serving as a picket line trooper, a cook, a fire drum monitor, serving as a picket captain, driving for firewood, or working diligently at the Union Hall to manage strike payments and logistics, alongside our Toronto Local Executive. The dedication displayed has been extraordinary, creating a community of solidarity at each postal plant, Letter Carrier depot, and retail stores. Driving to picket lines and seeing all the extraordinary unique  shelters and cities that have been built all without a building permit in sight made be feel like a proud Mayor.
