Canada Employment And Immigration Union: Processing Centre

Public Pressure Dept: The centre is currently slated to close in March of 2014, but the Canada Employment and Immigration Union believes public pressure could change that and it is planning an EI rally next weekend in Montague, according to CBC. "Hopefully put some pressure on the politicians to leave it open. We are going to have some postcards to send to Human Resources and Skills Development Minister Finley," she said and the union representing workers at the EI processing centre in Montague has launched a campaign to convince the federal government to keep the centre open. "We are trying to generate some public support, let the public know what's going on," said local union spokeswoman Donna MacDonald. She said that she hopes the rally will result in a change of the government's plans. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
