Strike - Day 19

Feel way too shitty today to picket (wonderful summer head cold), so this tiny post features a couple of great pictures that Denise took last week @ Britannia Branch. Thanks for the use of them Denise!

For taking my picture I give you the look of death!


Wow, that really is some tail isn't it?


Resistance. Is. Futile!


Also here is a link to the CUPE BC Rally photos.

And finally a video of the bulk of the rally from the Working TV site. Thanks to Dana for the heads up on this video.

There was a very well attended and rousing rally for CUPE 15, 1004 & 391 at City Hall today.

I couldn't stay for the whole shebang, but what I did experience was pretty awsome. I tivo'd the Global 6:00 pm news and here is the coverage:
