CAMPAIGN TO STOP TIM HUDAK COMES TO WINDSOR
WITH TUESDAY’S URGENT ALL-UNION MEETING
**MEDIA NOTE: Meeting is now OPEN to reporters
(WINDSOR) ─ The province-wide campaign to stop Conservative Leader Tim Hudak and his attack on workers and the labour movement rolls into Windsor 6 p.m., Tues., May 13, for an urgent and large all-union meeting. With only weeks left to mobilize, Ontario’s labour movement is organizing for the fight of its life; it is warning that Hudak’s claim that he has shelved his anti-worker schemes is a dishonest tactical maneuver designed to mislead.
“Mr. Hudak’s entire platform is centred on dismantling the labour movement to clear the way for a low-wage economy,” said OFL President Sid Ryan. “He isn’t fooling anyone. No matter how he tries to massage his message, Tim Hudak is still committed to the same extremist policies that would divide our workplaces, weaken workers’ voices and drive down wages for everyone
