Good Afternoon Folks,

After the Townhall last night I received too many emails and texts about next steps, I can not keep up with replying and doing the work that needs to be done. Please have confidence that we will update you as we have updates, nobody will be flying blind.

If you know of coworkers who are not receiving emails, it is important that you direct them to myself or our Recording Secretary Grace Dizon at recordlocal40@gmail.com. Receiving emails and checking our website is key to being informed.

⚠️ YOU CAN NOT BE FIRED FOR PARTICIPATING IN A STRIKE.

Monday’s Action – February 24th

📍 Protest at McDougall Centre

📍 455 6 St SW

🕖 7 AM – 9 AM

This is where you will be signing in for your Strike Pay.

🚶‍♂️ March and Protest at Calgary Board of Education’s Education Centre

📍 1221 8 St SW

🕖 9 AM – 11 AM

Tuesday and Going Forward – February 25th Onwards

Budget Day!

The Government will release Budget 2025 on February 27th (Thursday), I think it would be a great idea to support our brothers & sisters who are planning a protest at the Legislature that day.

Please indicate with the survey below if you would like to take the trip up on a bus.

This counts as 4 hours towards your Strike Pay time.
