March 21, 2025 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. This day is observed each year in remembrance of the day that police in Sharpeville South Africa opened fire on and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960.
Info pickets provide an opportunity for SEIU-West members to send a message to their employer and to the general public, that bargaining needs to progress and SEIU-West members deserve a fair contract! This is not job action or a strike, attendance at an info picket is voluntary and takes place on unpaid time, such as a day off or during a break. In addition, it can't take place on the employer's property and we cannot interfere with the flow of people or traffic.
The 65th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Saskatoon and District Labour Council (SDLC) will be held at Masonic Temple, 1021 Saskatchewan Crescent West on February 7th & 8th, 2025.
