Dear Sisters and Brothers,
There are a lot of changes coming to CPC. We have
begun having station
meetings in the
local to update you
all in person as to
the changes that are
coming, and how they
will effect you
personally. So far
we have had a
meeting with Don
Mills stn, a joint
meeting with Ajax
and Pickering
stations, and a
joint meeting with
Unionville and
Markham stations.
These weren't as
well attended as
they could have
been, but there was
good response from
those that were
there.
What puzzles me is the number of people that have
come to me since
that meeting and
said "Is it really
going to happen"
"Are these changes
for real, or is it
just another trial
balloon on a new
possible CPC
initiative ?"
It got me to thinking about CPC. And that old fable
of the "Boy Who
Cried Wolf". CPC
has a long history
of saying one
thing, and
introducing a new
project, only to
abandon it later.
And this has duped
our members into not
trusting that when
they see another new
initiative that it
can't be real, or
can't last.
CPC is not "Crying Wolf", this is the real deal, this
is coming, this is
indeed already
happening. This
will not be rolled
back later on -
there is too much
invested $$$$$.
If you have been sitting on the fence waiting to see
if this is really
going to happen,
then its time to
jump off, onto the
side of the union.
We are consulting on all we can at the Local level,
and we are trying as
best we can to get
the message of what
is going on to all
members, but it is
up to you too. To
stay informed, to
stay involved, and
to get active. If
your local plans a
day of action,
participate, the
message gets to the
CPC drones in
Ottawa. They need
to see that we are
united.
THE WORKERS, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Solidarity,
Cathy Beth
2nd VP Scarborough Local
