Castlegar workers have been on job action since August 18th, 2014 and as recently as November 8th, 2014 have been in full-out strike. The City is unwilling to come back to the bargaining table to resolve the outstanding issues.
By signing the petition below, you are imploring your Mayor, Council and Staff to get back to the bargaining table and bargain a fair and respectable collective agreement.

This a heartfelt plea to have the Mayor, Coucil and staff to get back to the barganing table and resolve the outstanding issuse. There are 34 family out of work and out of those 34 two family members are mine. This needs to be resolved, please get back to the table and bring our familys back to work!
Lets bring our community back together and get this over with. This is a wonder city with wonderful people. Please get back to the table. There is no reason to not get this settled before the holidays. The longer this takes to settle the uglier it can get and will pull our beautiful city apart. Let's all have a great christmas
Castlegar has the smallest amount of city workers compared to Nelson or Trail. Not sure why we can not treat them with dignity and prepare to secure their jobs for the future.. let's have some pride in our City and focus on attracting new business's which would generate new tax streams instead of slashing jobs.. and Quit the insults.. how degrading..
I've seen your ads and posts letting us know what you've done so far, but they're still standing out there, in the cold weather at Christmas time. They obviously believe in what they're doing and aren't being heard. Better get back to work council, because in the end it's you who are responsible for the good function of our city.
I don't think Council will lose face by shifting. The citizens of Castlegar need Council to be the "grownups" here, showing leadership in conflict resolution.
Sacrifices on both side are needed alittle give and take no one is winning here
Get these people back to work please!

Stopping negotiations does not solve issues, whether the city fights for our tax dollars, or the union fights for our workers rights both cannot move forward without discussion.
