January 7, 2016   Ryan Albright Covered Bridge Potato Chips 35 Alwright Ct  Waterville, Carleton County, NB E7P 0A5   Dear Mr. Albright,   I am writing to you on behalf of 18,000 members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) in the Atlantic Region as we have serious concerns over the labour dispute at your workplace.  

Let the chips expire on the shelves   Like many people, I’m appalled by the lack of respect demonstrated by Mr. Ryan Albright towards his employees.  By saying that he would offer his employees what they are looking for, but never in a union environment, Mr. Albright is acting like a bully and bargaining in bad faith.  Bullying is unacceptable, whatever form it takes and regardless in which situation it is present.
