Protecting Worker Safety: Grant’s Law Sit-In – Vancouver
April 5, 2017
To: MoveUP Excutive Councillors, Job Stewards & Distributors in Metro Vancouver - PLEASE POST
On April 8th at 8:00 pm, the BCFED Young Workers’ Committee will be holding the Annual Grant’s Law Sit-In in Victoria and Vancouver.
The event will be held to call for improved health and safety protections for late night workers.
Following the tragic death of Grant Depatie in 2005 in a gas-and-dash in Maple Ridge, Grant’s family and the BCFED called for strengthened protections for those who work alone and at night.
New laws were put in place but due to lobbying by big money corporations, parts of the law were rarely enforced and eventually removed by the Clark government.
Date: Saturday, April 8, 2017 – 20:00 to Sunday, April 9, 2017 – 06:00
Supporters don’t need to stay for the whole night. All are welcome to come on by to support a good cause.
Location: Mac’s Convenience Store, 2601 Commercial Drive, Vancouver
In solidarity,
