anova – A Future Without Violence
On April 28, CUPE members across the country gather to honour workers who have been killed or injured on the job.
The Workers’ Day of Mourning was created by CUPE members more than 40 years ago to remember those who lost their lives on the job and to inspire workers to fight to prevent further tragedies.
The Mobilization Committee has organized 2 more days.
April 1st – Solidarity Day – wear your “Canadian Tuxedo” (denim on denim) or all Blue
April 2nd – Bargaining Day – wear Jeans & a Flannel Shirt
Send any pics to Julie and we’ll continue to post them in support of our Bargaining Committee!
The Mobilizing Committee dropped off coffee and treats at all of the Anova sites today as a thank you for everyone’s support!
Thank you to the Mobilizing Committee for arranging solidarity days (“All Black” & “All Bright”) to show support! Please email any pictures to Julie to add to this post.
