During the ATU Canada Conference in Edmonton this week, the ATU took the opportunity to show striking postal workers of CUPW what solidarity looks like — as Edmonton Transit Buses rolled up and unloaded dozens of ATU members from across the country to join the Rally, walk the picket line with the striking workers of CUPW, encouraging members to stand strong, keep up the fight, and hold the line!

ATU Canada President John Di Nino was joined by CLC President Bea Bruske, AFL President Gil McGowan, and OFL President Laura Walton as they delivered powerful messages of solidarity. #StrongerTogether
