Feb. 3
/CNW/ - CAW
President Ken Lewenza
will be speaking at the Rally for Life Line, to save the Yarmouth ferry service which will be held at
10:00 a.m.
tomorrow morning at 1 Government Place (
Granville Street
),
Halifax
.
CAW members from across the province will demonstrate in support of workers who are losing their jobs because of the provincial government's decision to cut funding, ending the Yarmouth ferry service to
Portland
and Bar Harbor, Maine.
"We are calling on Premier
Darrell Dexter
and his government to reverse this decision so this ferry service can continue to run until a viable long-term ferry service can be put in place," said CAW National
President Ken Lewenza
. "This is a very bad decision, which will ultimately be detrimental to the region - Darrell Dexter's government must understand this." Lewenza will be making the trip to
Halifax
specifically for the rally.
The CAW represents 225,000 workers across the country.
