This morning, members of the Immigrant Workers Centre joined the Canada Post workers’ strike picket line in Decaria to show support for their fight for fair pay and improved working conditions. The show of solidarity comes on the heels of a federal government announcement aiming to end the weeks-long strike by forcing workers back to their posts.
As postal workers moved inside to discuss the government’s announcement, the Immigrant Workers Centre stood outside, holding signs and encouraging support from the community. Drivers passing by added to the energy, honking their horns in support of the strikers.
The strike, which began on November 15, involves over 55,000 workers and has brought mail services across the country to a near standstill. Labour experts say public support is crucial as negotiations continue during this critical holiday season.
Community actions like these underscore the importance of collective action in addressing worker grievances and ensuring equitable resolutions.
