Please let me know by Sunday if you would like one of your group to speak and who it is so I can.inform the chair person. My sincere apologies for cancelling the outdoor rally. The organizers became concerned with significantly higher levels of covid in our area  and did not want to create a spreader event.4

The issues we are emphasizing are:
 
End Gig Jobs. Fair wages, full benefits  and  union rights for all. End fake  contract work
 
4 days’ work for 5 days pay and  benefits to  fight job losses through , automation, job export,  pandemic and economic recession
 
Defund, disarm and dismantle the police armies. Use the savings to fund the social work and mental health work including legalization of drugs.
 
Nationalize the beleaguered wood industry under workers control and build high quality public housing to end the housing crisis in BC
 
Giver workers' kids a chance. Free post-secondary education and cancel student debt. 
 
Facing pandemic, increasing pollution and other unsafe job conditions, workers must have the right to refuse unsafe work without fear of reprisal
 
We  invite you to emphasize whatever you like.
