Ken Townsend and Ian Clough (TSMWindsor) occupy the airwaves in solidarity with Canadian Union of Postal Workers across Windsor and Essex County. We kick off the show with a radio documentary covering this morning’s CUPW demonstration in front of the offices of Jeff Watson (MP Essex). CUPW Local 630 and 500 leaders speak on the tabled “Back-To-Work” legislation forcing CPC and CUPW to end the lockout.
Ian and Ken discuss the implications and issues with forcing a union back to work that is locked-out rather than on strike. As well, the deep connections between the student movement and labour movements as a whole and how they are changing in the face of these events.
