CUPE 830 Calls for Boycott of Island Coastal Services

Island Coastal Services is performing scab labor during the strike of the CUPE Local 830, taking over work that rightfully belongs to Charlottetown’s unionized water and sewer workers. This undermines the fight for fair wages and respect.

CUPE 830 stands united. We urge the public to boycott ICS and support the workers who keep this city running
