Brothers and Sisters.
I want to make it clear to all members that IBEW Local 1928 stands in support of the teachers in Nova Scotia and their Local Union, NSTU. We will stand alongside of NSTU members as they struggle to fight off Bill 75 and will oppose any legislation the government imposes on NSTU members which erodes the collective bargaining process. I urge you to reach out to your MLAs and Councillors to voice your displeasure on how our government is handling this matter. We can all make a difference come election time. "We are a voice if we stand united."
Fraternally,
Jim Sponagle
Business Manager
