Subject: Appeal for CF61 picket line (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=104383668872) support (http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:oqCLv55MKx4J:www.xpdnc.com/files/tdc09/SocialistWorker-Number513-December2009-Page11.pdf+CF61+union&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a) and CF61 Hardship Fund

We need support on the morning picket line from our other union brothers and
sisters to help lift morale on the picket line in downtown Toronto. Please come
down to the garageway on the north side of Wellington Street between Bay and
York Streets between 7AM and 11AM, Monday through Friday.

The CF61 Hardship Fund was recently depleted. Disbursements from the CF61
Hardship Fund were made to the needy locked out and terminated workers.

The CF61 TD Centre employees have fought very hard for a very long time, 8.5
months of grueling hardship and stress. The CF61 have picketed during rain, snow
and cold weather and are loosing some of their member's participation due to
financial hardships. Loosing too many members would be a devastating blow to the
many dedicated men on the picket line fighting for their jobs.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board hearing dates are not until April, and then
we'll have to wait again until the OLRB makes a ruling which could takes months.
