STRIKE DAY 9: Hey Nico Wynd, pay your employees on time!

Roughly 30 employees at Nico Wynd Golf in Surrey, BC have been on strike over seniority rights, harassment at work, and pay issues.

[SEIU Local 2 @seiulocal2can]

In fact, paychecks are consistently late and often short. Management's refusal to fix the issue is one of the key reasons for the strike.

Workers were supposed to get paid this morning for hours worked before the strike started ... but you'll never guess what happened.

We took part in the inspiring and first-ever SEIU Asian Pacific Islander Summit in Saskatoon.

Give this a watch to see how we contributed with a theme important to us: migrant worker rights.

Solidarity!

[SEIU Local 2 @seiulocal2can]

We’re on the picket lines because management continues being unreasonable on several important and surprisingly basic fronts.

We, the roughly 30 employees at Nico Wynd Golf, will stay on the picket lines over seniority rights, unpaid wages, and harassment!

What a rally this weekend in Ottawa!

We came together to demand that EDSS, the janitorial company contracted to clean a Farm Boy distribution centre, respect the vote to unionize.

[SEIU Local 2 @seiulocal2can]

A majority of Distribution Centre workers voted for union representation but their certification has been delayed for about nine months now!

Today we said it loud and clear: Respect the votes. Respect workers’ rights. Stop delaying certification.

government.

If the BC NDP loses, thousands of SEIU members will face the prospect of losing their union contracts and jobs through contract flips, and workers will face an uphill battle to maintain employment standards as it becomes harder to unionize and bargain.

Vote BC NDP!

bargaining agreements. Successor rights also apply to members in non-contracted workplaces. If companies we work for are sold and bought by a new company, we keep our jobs and our union rights.

These important advances in workers’ rights will disappear under a Conservative
