of Way Employee Division
Mr. Jim Karygiannis MP, Scarborough-Agincourt and Parliamentary
Secretary of Transportation, met with Brothers Bill Brehl, National
Coordinator and Louis Wilson, Director at Large, on Friday June
10th at the Toronto Yard at Agincourt.
Mr. Karygiannis toured the yard and met with members during a
lunchtime meeting. Several issues were discussed; of note were
the concerns over the deterioration of track in Eastern Canada
and the pre-spiking of rail ties by foreign workers.
The
meeting gave Mr. Karygiannis the opportunity to get a preliminary
idea
of what the members’ work involved. Brother Brehl said: “It
was great to see a Jim take the time and show interest in our issues,
and I expect this is the first of many meetings to come.”
