Society Rallies for Striking OPSEU Members at TSSA
The Society of United Professionals (SUP/IFPTE Local 160) hosted a lunchtime rally on September 22 in support of striking colleagues at the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). One hundred and seventy TSSA inspectors represented by OPSEU Local 546 have been on strike since July, fighting for fair working conditions that keep Ontarians safe. The Society represents TSSA engineers and is presently in bargaining for a first collective agreement.
