Veterans Under Attack by Provincial Government
 
CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI – Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) local 90140 employed by the NB-PEI Division of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires who are contracted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Prince County Hospital are outraged that the provincial government is outsourcing their job to a Vancouver security firm and therefore issuing lay-off notices to 40 commissionaires.

See attached poster for labour day activities in PEI/NB

The PEI Federation of Labour will be holding their 15th Annual Labour Day Picnic and Barbecue on Monday, September 7th between 11:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Joseph Ghiz Memorial Park Charlottetown.   See attached poster for additional details.

Your bargaining team recently met with the Corps of Commissionaires to exchange bargaining proposals and begin the bargaining process.   Please see letter from your team attached.

According to veterans and their advocates, this latest announcement will do little to fix the damage that has already been done to veterans’ services.
