Which ghosts will haunt these Scrooges this Christmas?

The Board of the North Shore Winter Club has locked out their 16 employees since May. They don’t care about working people, the quality of their sports facility or the safety to those who use it.

Turn up the heat and melt their cold, cold hearts.

Please don’t use the NSWC during this dispute, and send a message to the board members to let them know there is still time before Christmas to do the right thing for their professional, dedicated employees.

North Shore Winter Club Board members emails:

Cut and paste these email addresses above, write the NSWC board, and help them see the light.

CUPE 389 members at the North Shore Winter Club (NSWC) in North Vancouver have been locked out by their employer since May 3, after only four days of negotiations. CUPE employees at the NSWC are dedicated professionals who ensure the health and safety of the family recreation centre.

The NSWC is attempting to force CUPE employees into accepting a subpar agreement which includes zero wage increase, proposed cuts to sick time and vacation time as well as changes to language which could result in reductions to CUPE employee’s work hours.

Since initiating the lockout, NSWC managers and the board of directors have been found guilty of hiring scabs to perform CUPE employees’ work. They have also violated provincial safe working practices and told long-term employees they “don’t care” about them.

It’s time to end this senseless lockout so CUPE employees can return to work and negotiate a fair and reasonable collective agreement. Please take a moment and send an email to NSWC managers and the board of directors telling them to end the lockout now.
