/R E P E A T -- MEDIA ADVISORY - Striking TSSA safety inspectors to hold picket outside the CNE on opening day/

TORONTO, Aug. 18, 2022 /CNW/ - OPSEU/SEFPO President JP Hornick and First Vice-President/Treasurer Laurie Nancekivell will join striking safety inspectors from the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) at a picket at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) on the opening day of the annual fair. 

The 170 safety inspectors, members of OPSEU/SEFPO Local 546, have been on strike since July 21 after the TSSA walked away from the bargaining table.  

OPSEU/SEFPO Local 546 TSSA members will be picketing to ask the public and stakeholders to demand that the TSSA get back to the bargaining table and bargain fairly with them to reach a deal, so that they can get back to work keeping Ontario safe.  

DATE:	Friday, Aug. 19
TIME:	10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
LOCATION:	CNE Princes' Gate, Strachan Avenue, Toronto, Ontario
