Brothers, Sisters, Siblings,
Miners Memorial Weekend/Ginger Goodwin Day will be taking place Friday June 14 to Sunday June 16 in Cumberland. This is an important labour event for Vancouver that provides a living link between past and present labour struggles. From company towns and disposable workers to the rampaging cost of living and precarity, the necessity of labout solidarity is more crucial than ever.
Workers from across the island will gather at the graveside of Ginger Goodwin and the countless other miners who perished unnecessarily. By reflecting on the past, our focus will be sharpened on the hard work that still needs to be done.
Transportation will be provided by the Community Action Bus departing Victoria Friday the 14th and back to Victoria Sunday the 16th. Please contact the Community Connections Committee for bus and car pooling details.
The union is only strong because of you.
In Solidarity,
Community Connections Commitee
