Hello Members, On November 29, USW Local 1944 was in Ottawa to push for support for Canadian telecommunications jobs - including tying the $20 billion in government telecommunications contracts to Canadian jobs and bringing in federal anti-scab legislation now to ban the use of scabs in labour disputes.
