NSGEU fights back against PC proposal to privatize liquor sales

NSGEU President Joan Jessome spoke up in defense of the valuable work you do yesterday, issuing a press release and speaking with a range of media outlets (please see links to media items below). And we’re not stopping there.

Today, at 4:15 p.m., Joan will be live on News 95.7 discussing this issue further. If you’d like to listen in, you can also stream online at:http://player.rogersradio.ca/cjni/on_air

We also plan to hold a telephone town hall meeting with all members of Locals 470, 470E and 1670, so we can get your input on the issue. We will be in contact shortly with more details on when that meeting will be held, and how you can participate.

If you would like any additional information, please contact the NSGEU at 424-4063 or 1-877-556-7438 or email  inquiry@nsgeu.ca
