Ottawa – UNE National President Kevin King will be on the picket line in Québec City, on Thursday, July 11, from 7am-11am, in solidarity with the UNE members on strike.
As of Tuesday, June 25 at midnight, UNE workers from the National Battlefields Commission (NBC) – Local 10206 – based in Québec City have been on strike and are still on the picket line, while negotiating a new collective agreement.
Our members provide information, animation and general maintenance services at the Plains of Abraham and its museum.
The Union of National Employees (UNE) is 100% supporting this strike action and supportive of the bargaining demands. The members are now entering their 16th day on strike.
“Our members have been without a new collective agreement since October 31, 2017. It is long overdue for them to have a new one with equitable salaries, good benefits and respect from their employer. These workers perform important duties preserving Canadian history. It is time for the federal government to step in and resolve the situation”, Kevin King declared ahead of his visit.
