MEDIA ADVISORY: Workers Rally for Members of Locked out Union

United Steelworkers union (USW) Local 2009 members who have been locked out of their jobs at UFCW 1518 for over a month are not letting employer tactics drive divides between workers – instead, they’re building solidarity with the members of the union that locked them out.

On Saturday, May 14, the 38 locked-out staff will hold a rally supporting all the UFCW 1518 members who aren’t getting the union support they need and deserve because of the ongoing dispute.

The rally will run from 12:00 pm to 12:45 pm at the New Westminster Pier Park, #1 6th Street, New Westminster. Speakers include USW 2009 bargaining team members, UFCW 1518 activists, and other special guests. Media, the public and members of the labour movement are invited to attend.

Date: Saturday, May 14, 2022

Time: 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm

Location: New Westminster Pier Park (festival grounds), #1 6th Street, New Westminster.
