Clip taken at 6:33am
Blocking of the replacement worker vehicle prevents members from being able to access their vehicle.
Beginning about 5pm
Picketers are "allowed" to trespass by an Artspace member, where they begin to harass security. Among the names now known are AUPE organizer David Malka (with the baseball cap and black jacket), picket captain, Jaime Urbina-Maclean (the one recording inside the parking lot at the beginning, then later seen sticking his phone camera in security guards' faces) and labour organizer Desiree Schell (grey coat, in final clip).
One striking SAIL employee, Angel Colvin, is also among those trespassing at the beginning clip (pink sweater, wearing a sign).
Beginning 6:30pm
A view from inside the security vehicle as replacement workers are escorted out at the end of their shift.
Among the names we now know is Local 47 Chair, Deb Arcand (wearing a union vest with a pink phone). The man recording in the windows is picket captain, Jaime Urbina-Maclean. Only 3 of the picketers are identifiable as striking SAIL staff; Angel Colvin (pink sweater), Margielyn Palma (red hooded jacket) and the woman wearing a surgical mask. The rest are AUPE imports.
Beginning 7:15pm
A view from inside the security vehicle as replacement workers are escorted in to start a shift, blocking them on the street, then following the vehicle into private Artspace property. This altercation involves the same people as in the above video.
