The BC Federation of Labour today announced a province-wide boycott of Kal Tire, in response to the company\u2019s lockout of workers at multiple locations and their unacceptable bargaining stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBC unions stand firmly behind Machinists Union Local 1857 ,\u201d said BCFED President Sussanne Skidmore. \u201cKal Tire\u2019s insistence on paying workers at newly-unionized workplaces far less than those at their other shops is blatantly unfair. And the company\u2019s heavy-handed tactics make it clear they know it is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur members are highly skilled workers, doing difficult and often hazardous work that drivers and the public count on,\u201d said Dale Gentile, business representative for District 250 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. \u201cWe\u2019re standing strong for fairness, and we deeply appreciate this solidarity from our fellow labour unions across BC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re calling on union members and the general public to not patronize Kal Tire,\u201d said BCFED Secretary-Treasurer Hermender Singh Kailley. \u201cLet\u2019s send them a message they can\u2019t ignore: start treating your workers fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
