Out-of-town workers blocked from leaving Trail hotel during ongoing technician labour dispute in the Kootenays
Police were called to a confrontation in Trail related to the Rogers lockout of 26 Kootenay technicians based in Nelson, Castlegar, Grand Forks, Trail, Cranbrook, Creston, Fairmont, and Fernie.
When they arrived on scene, police discovered a banner was blocking a doorway and preventing temporary workers from leaving a hotel. The Kootenay technicians are seeking their first labour agreement after unionizing last year. They install and maintain networks for residences and businesses, answer service calls, and work on infrastructure.
