Support Striking Zellers Workers in Scarborough:
The CAW has launched a financial appeal for the 345 CAW Local 1000 members who work at the Zellers distribution warehouse in Scarborough, who have been on strike since July 16 fighting company demands for concessions.

"There is no end in sight for this strike, as the employer has tabled many concessions including an $8 per hour wage reduction, elimination of severance entitlements, longer working hours, reduction in relief time and increased use of temporary workers," CAW President Ken Lewenza states in a letter to CAW Local union presidents.

Lewenza is urging CAW members to join Zellers workers on the picket line, whenever possible in a show of solidarity. He is also requesting CAW local's maximum financial support as well as messages of solidarity to be sent to CAW Local 1000. Cheques should be made payable to CAW Local 1000 and sent to:
Dwayne Gunness, President
