Correspondence
The following correspondence was included in LUFA News,
December, 2005:
On
behalf of Local 229, I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation
for your thoughtful and generous donation and words of encouragement.
I can’t begin to express how much your support has meant to our unit at
Lakehead
University
, many of whom are women who have shown incredible courage.
Taking the time to acknowledge their struggle has mattered a great
deal. Assistance
such as yours made the recent right our members encountered with their
employer a little more bearable.
No one knows better than union members the importance of standing
together.
Because of the incredible support from the labour movement, we were
recently able to bargain a good agreement that did not include desecrating
our contracting our language, and was ratified by 94%.
For this, you have our thanks.
In solidarity,
Andy Savela
