Comedians @nfstrongarm and Hi discuss people, things, and institutions who are blowing it, and a few who aren't. This week we talk about the city locking out CUPE 508, the dread of an early election, Oscar lewks, and more. blowingitpod.libsyn.com/revenue-stream…

#SOLIDARITY with the 120+ Fredericton outside workers who have been locked out by City Council. City of Fredericton is now spending big public money to hire scabs employed by American strikebreaking corporation Afimac. Support CUPE LOCAL 508! #canlab #nbpoli #cdnpoli

In 1977 Pierre-Marc Johnson, the Parti Québécois Minister of Labour at the time, introduced the anti-scab law in the Quebec National Assembly. He stated: “Where there are scabs there is violence.” nbmediacoop.org/2020/02/17/whe… #canlab #cdnpoli Unifor 594 CUPE LOCAL 508

Happy Family Day!

Speaking with neighbour about #Fredericton city council & City of Fredericton. He was shocked to learn about their contract with AFIMAC & their scabs. He reads Irving press 4 news. He was under impression management was operating equipment. I pointed him to NB Media Co-op / Coop Média NB CUPE LOCAL 508

I was up CUPE LOCAL 508 picket this family to deliver 50 buttons 4 Outside Workers to hand out to supporters who stop by. So encouraging to see #Fredericton drivers waving & honking their support 4 the picket. Do stop by to pick up your button & shake hands with our neighbours

Thank you #Fredericton for all your support!

The City and CUPE Local 508 outside workers have reached a tentative agreement on wages tied to CPI NB. The five-year deal provides $1/hour + 2.13% CPI NB for 2019, and wage increases for next four years equal to CPI NB. ow.ly/aXR250yoQk5

The lockout is OVER in Fredericton!! CONGRATULATIONS to all the workers who keep this city moving! nbmediacoop.org/2020/02/17/cup… David Coon Jenica Atwin for Fredericton City of Fredericton

"Kevin Smallwood, President of CUPE LOCAL 508 508 told the NB Media Co-op that he “appreciates all the support we received over this past weekend and we are proud to keep the city moving.” .. The outside workers will be back at work in the morning."

Well done, both sides.

Congrats to the 508. I am glad the city came to the senses so quickly. Be nice to see things be taken care of by professionals who care for the community, rather than scabs who try to look busy. Maybe the mayor should take a pay cut to help offset the waste of money scab hires.

As you watch the snow fall, safe at home practicing social distancing, know that City crews have been observing COVID-19 safety protocols and will be out salting, sanding & clearing streets overnight. #StaySafe

City of Fredericton I wanted to say THANK YOU to the awesome care and attention of the gentleman operating the road cleaning truck who just was on our street. First did the outside of the court and then two passes on the Center median. Amazing! Much needed! Great Job!!
