Negotiators for CUPE 1521.02 spent all day Aug. 11 giving management different proposals without a single written response.

Support Lanark ACL strikers:

* Send a support email to the local
* Send an email to management

The first day of bargaining in five weeks made no progress in resolving the strike at Lanark Association for Community Living, which began Jul. 4.

Meanwhile management has hired a third party consultant to manage replacement workers. One replacement worker told the union they were hired on a twelve week contract.

"Clearly this employer is intent on maintaining this strike, instead of resolving it," Doreen Beath, CUPE National Representative said in a press release.
