TORONTO—Unifor will hold a solidarity rally today to support more than 250 members of Local 4271 who have been callously locked out by Canada Lands Company at the CN Tower.

“It’s disgusting that a Crown corporation would lock out workers rather than negotiate a fair wage,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “Today, we’re bringing a message straight to the CN Tower and its Crown operators: workers deserve respect, decent wages, and a fair contract.”

Media are invited to attend.
