In solidarity,
As the Coronavirus has slowly been changing our day to day lives, both at work and within our communities, your Union has reached out to Minister of Health, Patty Hajdu, and Minister of Transport, Marc Garneau, to seek clarification with the handling from the Government’s side. A copy of this letter can be found below, or by clicking HERE.
We will keep you informed on any changes and replies we receive.
