What do I do on Monday, May 2, 2022?
Do not report to work on jobsites covered by the Provincial Collective Agreement on Monday, May 2, 2022, whether it is operating or transporting of equipment. For the time being, we will not be picketing jobs unless you are advised otherwise by your Union Rep.
What Next?
