HALIFAX—Haligonians support postal workers at the picket line on June 14, the first day of the lock-out. According to Dianne Pickering of CUPW Nova Local, "Most of the public is hearing from the mainstream media and they're only getting half-truths. We're not out here fighting because we're greedy or lazy. We're fighting for the public. It's their postal service: they own it, not Canada Post. We're fighting to keep these decent paying jobs in the community." image by Rebecca Rose
