 13 Thursday May 28 2009 5:30 - 7:30 pm Presidents and Activists Meeting at 31 Wellesley Membership Centre to discuss Ontario’s Response to the Economic Crisis and how it effects Communities.Two CUPE activist’s were present to discuss ‘Stop the Raids”. In Ontario over the last several months immigration and police are raiding farms and factories and arresting workers for illegal working without proper permits. These actions are denying basic legal and human rights to newly arrived immigrants and refugees. The main topic was Ontario’s Response to the Economic Crisis. Public forum’s are going to be set up in all regions across Ontario, to discuss with a panel of experts and do Q & A’s. Resources have been set aside and Region 5 is looking for a coordinator and volunteers to make this happen in June. The OFL and CLC are planning similar events. Timolin and Richard were present representing Local 508 at the meeting. For a few pictures of the event.
