Hi everyone! I want to thank you for all of the support you have offered me since I started this account in 2017. This has been a great learning opportunity for me and I've loved having an outlet to be creative and share my passion for Canadian labour history. #canlab

No progress has been made in the on-going negotiations after the City of Edmonton chose not reach out to the union over the weekend. Today, Civic Service Union 52 has served strike notice to the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Public Library. After the 72 hour notice period, the picket line will begin at 11:00am on Thursday, March 14th. #yeg #csu52
