Securitas workers in Halifax have been dissuaded from forming a union by their employer, despite an agreement made by the company in 2006 that respected workers’ rights to unionize.

At a press conference on August 26th, Securitas security workers went public with their demands to have a voice in the workplace. Earlier this year, the company sent a letter advising workers not to unionize with the Services Employees International Union, SEIU.

This news feature originally aired on GroundWire, a national community radio news show.
