Videos from May 10

This post was written Oct. 8, 2014 and back dated to the date of the events recorded.

Beginning shortly before 8am.

Picketers block an Artspace member as punishment for recording their activities.

In the video is Local 47 Chair, Deb Arcand (aka Turn Off the Camera Lady) and AUPE VP, Karen Weiers (brown coat, giant black cowl).  About 2 minutes in, organizer Desiree Schell (black coat with hood, white cowl) can be seen.

As of this writing, it is not known who the man with the stick is.




Shortly after 3pm

The video below was taken by the same Artspace member, who is not involved with the labour dispute, the SAIL board, nor the Artspace board.  This member has submitted all dashboard video of the picketers taken since the start of the strike.

Among the names now known of people seen in the video are labour and NDP organizer, Trevor Zimmerman (pacing with phone camera, black hooded coat, red and black scarf), Local 47 Chair, Deb Arcand (pacing, union vest, navy hood, sunglasses) and picket captain, Jaime Urbina-Maclean (briefly seen at the beginning, hood over baseball cap).

The child seen in the video is the son of a picketer.




Shortly after 5pm.

The picketers have blocked the replacement worker vehicle on the street.  Along with the people seen in the above video, AUPE organizer, David Malka is also seen (red toque at start).

Note that all this noise and disturbance is happening in front of our private homes, and is disrupting our neighbours as well.




Beginning 5:15pm, continued disruption and another camera view.

This video below is unusually long, showing how continuous the noise and disruption of our neighbourhood was.  It also shows some of the levels of harassment and verbal abuse the picketers engaged in.



As you can see through this series of videos, the disruption of our community continued from early in the morning (picketers would begin arriving around 6am) to the evening; about 12 hours altogether of noise, harassment and disruption.

If more video from this day is found, it will be added to this post.
