CUPE BC: Prince George Rallies Against Bill 21

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:49:00 EST

PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 20, 2009) - Editor's note: a photo is included with this news release. More than 150 workers and community supporters marched through downtown Prince George today protesting the B.C. government's repressive Bill 21. The march ended in a rally outside Prince George - Valemount MLA Shirley Bond's Office at lunchtime. The marchers were cheered by car drivers honking their support. Participants came from as far away as Prince Rupert, Fort St. John and Dawson Creek to voice their opposition to the Bill that stripped CUPE 873 ambulance paramedics of their right to strike while they were voting on an offer from the government. That marked a shameful first in Canadian labour history. The message to Bond and her fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs was clear - collective bargaining is a Charter right and Bill 21 takes this right away from workers across the province.

Harry Reid's health reform bill fulfills the promise that more than 132 million Americans with family dental coverage can keep their current dental plan without disrupting established dentist-patient relationships, according to the National Association of Dental Plans.
