Photos from Vancouver rally against Aveos shutdown

More than 200 workers and concerned community members attended a rally today at the Skytrain Station at Sea Island to protest the interference of Lisa Raitt and the Harper government in Air Canada negotiations. They were also protesting yesterday’s announcement of the Aveos closure, which has thrown more than 2600 IAM members out of work. (Photos: Stan Pickthall)
