Another one from May, this time the 14th.
This video was started just before 7:30am, while people were trying to get to work.
Imagine having this going on first thing in the morning? Or happening to you, as you try and get to work.
One of the members they are verbally abusing is an Artspace board member, and someone I, personally, am honoured to consider a friend. He's a man of integrity and kindness, who has dedicated incredible amounts of talent, time and energy to Artspace.
In AUPE's convoluted world, where they apparently get to define reality however they wish, this somehow makes him "management" of SAIL. Of course, Artspace is a completely separate entity from SAIL and the Artspace board does not - cannot - have anything to do directly with SAIL's operations, and they certainly have nothing to do with funding or contract negotiations.
The other person they are abusing is an Artspace member who is not on any boards and nothing to do with SAIL. She just lives here.
Somehow, because she is a member of another union through her job (how they know this would be an interesting thing to know, since "infiltration" is one of the things considered misconduct in labour regulations), they somehow think... what? That she can't cross the picket line (which would mean not going to and from her own home)? That she should put up with their abuse? It's not like she can do anything about the labour dispute.
So why target her so aggressively? Or so often? (This happened to her a lot.)
What could they possibly have hoped to accomplish by doing this?
