Auto Workers Local 229 Sponsor Billboard to Help End Male Violence
Against Women.
Members of CAW Local 229 along with
concerned community members marched from the Thunder Bay Labour Center to a
billboard along the Harbour Expressway on March 5 the bring attention to the
urgent issue of ending male violence against women.
Suzanne Pulice, CAW
Local 229 Vice President said “We have been calling on the Ontario
government to change these laws for over a decade. The consequences of doing
nothing on the recommendations from the Coroner’s Inquest into the Lori
Dupont murder can be as life threatening to workers as the tragic and
needless death of Lori Dupont.”
