I am all of these things, in no particular order: writer, editor, photographer, songwriter, musician, poet, juggler, activist. I have an interest in issues of social justice as they pertain to my city of Edmonton and the rest of the world. Coffee is my favourite drink of choice. Books, movies, food, and cycling are my hobbies.

Lockout at CESSCO

by radicalcitizenmedia

Workers from Boilermakers Local 146 continue to be locked out from their jobs at CESSCO, now going on over a month. Locked out Boilermakers at CESSCO seek return to work and a fair contract after five years of no increases, while the company demands cuts to wages, pensions, and seniority. The union has set up a picket line in front of the plant at 7310 99th Street, where members of the community, along with Local 146 families, have joined and participated daily from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. since the lock out began.
