Ron Oldfield of the Saint John District of Labour Council was there, and he tells Tide News they're asking local businesses to withdraw support from the station. He says by them advertising on the station, they're financing a strike and allowing the employer to continue on with bad practices.
Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy also voiced his support for the strikers. He tells Tide News he hopes the strong show of support gets things moving so the strikers can get a first collective agreement.
Patrick Colford, the president of the provincial Federation of Labour tells Tide News the situation is a disgrace. He says they're not asking for the moon, they're asking for a fair wage.
