(CEP)
- Fairpay Rally - Saturday, Sept. 7th
In a media
advisory issued on Wednesday, Sept.5th, the Communications, Energy
& Paperworkers Union (CEP) confirmed that it has not reached
a pay equity settlement with Bell Canada for CEP members - current
and former Bell Canada telephone Operators.
The settlement reached by the company union representing clerical
employees at Bell is calculated per person to be less than 20 cents
for every dollar owed by Bell and is less than the offer rejected
by CEP Operators in 1999.
The settlement
may not be acceptable to the Human Rights Commission, which has
jurisdiction in the pay equity dispute. The rally is still scheduled
for this Saturday, Sept.7th, beginning at the Markham
Fairgrounds, at McCowan Ave and Elgin Mills in Markham.
It will go ahead as planned - despite a deliberate attempt by anti-union
forces to manipulate news in an effort to reduce participation in
the CEP rally, and despite a court injunction.
The rally &
festival will include a short march, free BBQ, and a "buck-a-beer"
bar. Now it's more important than ever that you come out to show
your support - and to join us in the fun! Help us to show Bell that
they can't short-change Operators.
