Don't leave fair wages on the ice.
That's what many of these signs held
by members of QP 4386 say this morning
as they gather outside
the Civic Center after being locked out on Tuesday.
You can hear their frustration as they chant for a better wage.
Cars have been driving by all morning,
honking with their support as well.
The city says that what they offered the workers was fair and that it
aligns with other municipalities, 12% over the next four years.
Union President Craig Gardner says that would still make them
the lowest paid arena employees in the province by 2029.
He also says they still haven't received any official word
from the city and that they only found out from social media.
Since the lockout, Corner Brook City Mayor Linda Chason has
not met with the workers,
but they're hopeful she'll be in attendance
at the rally at City Hall later today.
