Together For Healthy Workplaces

March and Rally

Thursday, March 19th

Come out tomorrow, March 19th, at 12:00 PM to show your bargaining solidarity and send a message to our employer! Together, members of all federal public service unions will show that we want healthier workplaces and better public service for all Canadians. Together, we’ll send a clear message to the employer and to all Canadians that we support efforts to negotiate collective agreements that will take on toxic workplaces and not implement a “go to work sick” policy.

The Rally starts at 800 Burrard Street at 12:00 and we will march to the North Side of the Vancouver Art Gallery for 12:30 PM. There will be Union speakers, prize give aways, and Local MP's

Come out to support your Union brothers and sisters and send a message that you support a healthy work place!
