Officers arrested the leader of Canada's largest private sector union.
Last month, a judge ruled the union could stop vehicles trying to get in and out of the refinery for a maximum of 10 minutes, so as to provide information on the dispute or until a driver declines the information.“The court injunction was against Unifor Local 594 ... this is being done by the national union and the bodies that we have parachuted into the province.”
Unifor said hundreds of members from across Canada have come to the site to support the refinery workers. Workers at the refinery were locked out in early December after the union voted in favour of a strike and issued a notice. The union has launched a national boycott of the facility’s owner, Federated Co-operatives Ltd., and picketed at Co-op retailers in Western Canada.The workers’ last contract expired in February. The union declared an impasse in contract negotiations in September, which led to the appointment of a mediator.
