Sorry for the delay in responding, but I have been out of the country for the past week, on a personal matter.<BR/><BR/>We (the SFL) have been working diligently with the parties to the dispute between SGEU and CEP. And we are doing so, in accordance with the Constitution and Convention endorsed Policies of the SFL.<BR/><BR/>The SFL is an organizaton comprised of 37 different provincial, national and international unions from over 700 different locals. Issues of dispute between affiliates are complex, delicate, and challenging.<BR/><BR/>I have commented on this situation publicly and in the media - when deemed necessary and appropriate.Larry Hubichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140136865665292501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879888271139368021.post-47770195849782595242008-02-18T21:50:00.000-06:002008-02-18T21:50:00.000-06:00The SFL's silence over the lockout of the CEP by t...The SFL's silence over the lockout of the CEP by the SGEU is truly a looking glass into the working of union leadership or lack thereof. Larry where are your comments of the SGEU locking out unionized workers, and Bob Bymeon crossing picket lines every morning to go to his office? You have tried to distance yourself from this issue even with the request of the CEP to remove the SGEU from your membership by diverting attention to the government's pending legislation. What is your stance? You seem to enjoy baiting the government, and you throw yourself into the public forum...I await your answer.MooseJawGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261034219821496149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879888271139368021.post-52390695070915629812008-02-15T19:52:00.000-06:002008-02-15T19:52:00.000-06:00Unions have no place in management.
