Local 42 members and supporters show solidarity
As Local's Bargaining Committee Heads Into Conviliation.

NSGEU Local 42 Vice President Frances MacDonald takes part in the local's information picket.

As the bargaining committee for Local 42 (CDHA - Health Care) started conciliation with the employer, members of the local and their supporters crowded the sidewalk outside the Halifax Infirmary to underscore their support for a contract that keeps them from falling farther behind the rising cost of living.

During the hour-long picket, almost 300 NSGEU Local 42 members and supporters (including fellow Capital Health employees in Locals 19, 24, 97, 246, the Civil Service, and from the Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council, the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour, and the Canadian Labour Congress) showed their solidarity with Local 42's bargaining committee.
