Strike Support
USW Local I-500
The 84 members of USW Local I-500 have been kept out on strike for nearly three years by Engineered Coated Products (ECP) in Brantford because they have been busing scabs across the picket lines. The employer has demanded a 25% rollback in wages and benefits what the workers have bravely resisted. Not one striker out of the 84 has crossed the picket line.
The actions of this employer have made the need for anti-scab legislation an urgent priority.
