Media advisory - CEP President Dave Coles to respond to Premier Brad Wall tomorrow

REGINA, SK, July 23, 2012 /CNW/ - Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada President Dave Coles will deliver the union's response to Saskatchewan's labour consultations tomorrow in Regina.

The event will take place on a historically important day, as July 24 marks the beginning, after the end of the doctors' strike, of the model of health care that benefits all Canadians today.
