I was part of the Safeway (Edmonton,AB.) Union for 6 six years. I walked the line in the 1997 strike. Just wanted to say that I truely belieave that we all need to be part of a union... Also I'm looking for any info I can find to get something from Safeway. I had to leave my job as a cashier due to medical reason. I have tried to stay in contact with Safeway HR department, I tried to go back to work, but no one would ever return my calls.... I'm presently have gone back to college to get my HR degree.

I'm Secretary/treasurer for our bargaining unit not our composite Local 777. I also write a newsletter every two months with the support of our newsletter committee. I am always searching for information and aritcles, particularly if I can link them to ou internal issues. (We are in a very tough struggle fighting an alcohol & drug testing policy our employer implemented prior to our certification in 1995. This policy includes random testing.)

This is a great page! Lot's of info. CEP Local 2000 has started a cyber picket line in support of all the workers at the Calgary Herald where we send out updates and info on the strike. I see you have archived the items we have been sending and I will add a prominent link on our site to this page for any people who want more in depth info on the Herald strike as well other disputes. Fantastic Work! An injury to one truly is an injury to all and this page will definately bring us all closer in our struggles and our triumphs.

Privatization is our struggle right now. The senior management of the Halifax Regional Municipality in Halifax, Nova Scotia seems hell bent on contracting out the entire public sector except for fire and police as was done in Indianapolis. We have been o strike for 7 working days now and no end in site. They have hired in about 50 scabs so far, is the rumour and there are 500 inside municipal government workers on strike. My best to all of the other unions that are currently striking. It is a big figh but, we are fighting for the future of our children and our society! In solidarity, Audra Abbott NSUPE Local 13

as I look around the Internet is becoming more obvious all companies take their vocabulary from the same book. No. 1 no seniority No. 2 retirement issues No. 3 contracting out No. 4 right of assignment No. 5 reduction in workforce.it scenes no company ca be competitive without these concessions but they can pay their CEO an outrageous salary and bonus. When without us they would not have a job. We have been on strike for five months with no end in sight. But we will stay one-day longer than it takes! To all my union brothers and sisters stay strong

Dear Brother Eugene, Here in my area we have some very active Union members and solidarity picketing is practiced regularily (where we join the picket line of other Brothers and Sisters to show support). In this vein I've been wondering how to contact you I was at the UNITE 1764 picket yesterday (it's 3 hours from here)in Trenton Ontario. The Sisters have been out for 3 months now (as of yesterday). I posted some info on The Great Speckled Bird and left my e-mail. Without a central site (say CLC) we have o string together the info. I hope you will send me your e-mail so I can send you things for your site. In peace and solidarity, Jake.

Congratulations on a much needed website. Keep up the good work! Remember, corporations and governments hate the internet! They don't have any control over it....yet! Let's keep it that way! Did you know that 'net nanny' type software is being used by corporations to block access to labour re ated websites? Good luck!

Saw this mentioned in Labour Start e-mail from Eric. Congrats!!! We had a Mayday on the web link on our front page for several weeks and really enjoyed you Mayday coverage. this is a great initiative. Please add a link to our page, www.workingtv.com We are webcasting several shows right now ( more of a slide show with sound due to limited bandwidth) and this weeks show (due to be completed Friday or Saturday ) is all about the "New Internationalism" - just like what you are doing here. It includes interviews with Eric Lee from his home in Israel, which his son Medad shot for us on a home video camera. check it out. Will put a link to you on our front page. got a graphic we could use?? Cheers; Julius

Cut off last entry. Home town is scabtown/spamtown, usa. Familiar with Gainers strike, as we were on strike against Hormel. UFCW (U.S. version) screwed us and put our local in receivership as we would not end our strike. They (UFCW) then put scabs in ur union hall. Much help from everyone else, especially the Wobblies. One union. Keep me posted to north of the land of the free and the home of the weird. Wish our leaders (AFL-CIO) would get over their cranial-rectal inversion and shut this country own. Peace and solidarity, murrffee.
