Toronto, June 26 – Members from across Southern Ontario joined in solidarity with thousands of other rights advocates to show our resistance to the policies and agenda of the G20. Our protest was peaceful and proud, and we were honoured to be marching with our brothers and sisters.
Foodservice workers at George Brown College and Seneca College in Toronto voted yesterday, for a second time in less than three weeks, to confirm Workers United as their union of choice.
After being visited by Paul Clifford, President of UNITE HERE Local 75, just a little over a week ago, Evelyn Neequaye, a shop steward for George Brown College said: “When Paul told me that his union was trying to stop us from voting and that this was a good thing, I had to laugh. Their attempts to deny us our right to vote reminded me of all the reasons why we chose to leave Local 75 four years ago and chose to be part of the formation of Workers United last year.”
