Picket planned for Niagara DC

Local 252 at the Niagara Detention Centre invites all members to an information picket Dec. 18 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on.

Management prevented unclassified correctional officers from attending the unclassified rally in Toronto on Dec. 10 by scheduling them that day for mandatory four-hour training.

“This is a classic intimidation tactic that is typical of management at NDC,” said Kristy Grahame, Local 252 steward and provincial unclassified mobilizer. “If our officers can’t go to Toronto to support OPSEU, we'll bring OPSEU to them!”

Local media and MPPs have been invited to the rally, and food and beverages will be provided.
