This morning, Industrial Union of Workers – Montréal (IWW / HIS), the Union of Student Employees of UQAM, as well as users disrupted the Canada Post sorting center in Laval.
This action in solidarity with postal workers is part of the movement to fight austerity measures and the campaign for a day of social strike on May 1st. 2015.
Many workers are today faced with cuts : those in the health sector, municipal employees, the firefighters, les postier-you are, the students, private sector workers…
But everywhere resistance is organized. We will not let the different governments (whether conservative or liberal) and the employers impose their anti-social measures on us. Gone are the days when a minority is enriched on the back of a majority of increasingly poor.
Our unity gives us a radical response to the employer's side logic. It must go by amplifying.
The various government budget cuts will have an impact on services and the quality of public services. So, it is the population that will suffer the effects and this, in his daily life. The abolition of the home mail delivery service is no exception since this will affect accessibility for the elderly., single parents, living with a disability, etc.
This also has consequences for Canada Post workers., since their jobs are now at stake, only for users. We, we therefore wanted to demonstrate our solidarity and express our anger at the deterioration of public services.
Faced with employer measures: Union response : General strike!
It is in this context of austerity that the Industrial Union of Workers section of Montreal is launching a call for mobilization for a day of national general strike on May 1st. 2015.
