MONTREAL — A union coalition plans “many surprises for Conservative Members of Parliament” as it ramps up a confrontation with the federal government in a campaign designed to force Ottawa to reverse recent changes to the Employment Insurance program, organizers said Monday.
The opening salvo played out for many morning rush-hour commuters heading into Montreal from the South Shore.
Using a crane, the union coalition briefly unfurled a large banner sending an emphatic “no” message to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Like the broader public pressure campaign that is to follow, it calls on Harper to roll back the changes — which the coalition and its banner characterize as a “sacking” of benefits for the jobless.
