Media Advisory - Refinery workers call on Premier Moe to stand up to Co-op
REGINA, SK, June 17, 2020 /CNW/ - Unifor Local 594 will host a media event outside the Legislative Building in Regina, to demand action from their Premier.
Media and the public are invited to attend the event, which will also be livestreamed on Facebook at www.fb.com/unifor594. Responsible social distancing will be required of all attendees.
"Premier Moe has left refinery workers out to dry for too long.

"Local 594 members need the Premier to step up and force Co-op to make a fair deal."
