1. Communications, Energy and Paper Workers of Canada - CEP 37x – Timmins: 95
members have been locked out by Grant Forest Products since September 2006 – 39
months. OCC delivery date: Thursday, December 17 @ 12:00pm
2. Communications, Energy and Paper Workers Union of Canada – CEP 2003 –
Toronto: 61 members were locked out in June and then TERMINATED one month later. 61
members continue to walk the picket-lines against Cadillac Fairview (TD Centre) – 5
months. OCC delivery date: Wednesday, December 16 @ 12:00pm - TD Centre
3. United Steelworkers – USW 271G – Erin/Cambridge 44 members continue to strike
against Guardian Fiberglass Inc since June 2007 – 29 months. OCC delivery date:
Monday, December 14 @ 12:00pm - location TBA
4. United Steelworkers - USW 1-500 – Brantford: 75 members on strike against ECP
since August 2008 – 15 months. OCC delivery date: Tuesday, December 15 @ 12:00pm -
location TBA
5. United Steelworkers – USW 9511 – Provincial: 590 members on strike against
Drivetest since August 2009 – 4 months. OCC delivery date: Monday, December 21 @ 12:
00pm - Walkley Road Location
6. United Steelworkers – USW 6500 – Sudbury: 3,000 members on strike against Vale
Inco since July 2009 – 5 months. OCC delivery date: Thursday, December 10 starting @
9:00am we will visit ALL 9 picket-lines throughout Sudbury
Right now there are several other locals throughout the province that are also on strike. It is
a challenge for OCC to make the commitment to every single local and ensure that each
Brother and Sister receives a food hamper. We wish we could, but unfortunately we are
unable to.
It is our hope that their solidarity on the picket-lines makes their employers rethink their
unreasonable concession demands and forces management back to the table with a fair
contract for workers. If these locals are still on strike in December, OCC will reach out to
help as many of their members as possible.
