Radio ad: A message from Halifax Water workers

The members of CUPE Local 227, municipal workers employed by Halifax Water, are running a radio ad from January 11 to 17, 2019. Municipal employees at Halifax Water are dedicated to making sure your drinking water is superb and your wastewater is responsibly treated. We take our roles seriously, but we can’t do our jobs if our employer doesn’t respect our work environment. Halifax Water wants to change work practices, which could impact the way we do our jobs, and the high standards the public expects from us. All we are asking is for Halifax Water to respect the job protections in our contract. A message from the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 227. Listen to the ad
