A rally in support of striking postal workers drew nearly 100 people to the steps of the downtown Canada Post office on Saturday afternoon, where labour leaders stressed the importance of stopping a trend towards a "two-tiered workforce" in Canada.
Among Canada Post's demands is to lower the wage for new employees to $19 per hour from the current $24 and to replace sick leave with a short-term disability plan, a trend B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair said he's noticed elsewhere.
"When we fight these battles, we're fighting them not just for ourselves but we're fighting them for everybody," said Sinclair.
