Unifor will respect Toronto Exhibition Place picket lines
TORONTO, July 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Unifor will respect the IATSE Local 58 picket line after staging, rigging and technical support workers were locked out at the Toronto Exhibition Place.
"It is shameful that workers of colour will be forced to either cross a picket line or miss out on an important cultural event," said Christine Maclin, Unifor National Human Rights Director.
Unifor has cancelled its contingent in the 2018 Toronto Caribbean Festival Grand Parade.
"The Grand Parade is an opportunity for Toronto'sCaribbean community to showcase Caribbean culture," said David Amow, Unifor Local 40 President and Unifor contingent volunteer.
Talks broke off on July 20 when the employer stopped months of negotiations and locked out the IATSE members.
Unifor deplores the use of untrained scab labour.
