We are calling out to our brothers and sisters in OPSEU who work in the Woodstock area, and other community labour supporters, to join us on the information picket line on Oct. 3,” said Tischin Forster, president of Local 133. “We must send a loud and clear message to our employer that we are aiming for a fair contract that shows respect and value to our members who are mental health professionals providing community mental health support.”
