Dear members,
We are providing another update as DHL has informed us they are locking us out.
As we received this news, our members initiated lockout picket lines across the country.
Unifor has decided to keep our strike notice in place at 11 a.m. EST. At that time, our members will be both locked out and on strike.
When the employer issued its lockout notice first, four days before the negotiations were scheduled to end, it was a sign of disrespect and pressure tactic for us to take concessions.
Keeping our strike notice intact sends a strong message to the employer that we will not be bullied.
We will make sure that we communicate any new developments as they happen.
Again, thank you for your patience, co-operation and support as your bargaining committee remains in your corner, fighting for your rights.
With whatever outcome, Unifor is prepared to fight – be it a lockout, strike or anything the company throws at us and our members. There’s a reason we’re Canada’s largest private sector union. That’s 320,000 members strong from coast-to-coast-to-coast. All in your corner.
In solidarity,
DHL National Bargaining Committee
