Almost two weeks into our strike, Oxfam Canada has yet to return to the bargaining table. Despite the silence from the employer, we remain strong, united, and determined. Rain or shine, we continue to walk the picket line in defence of hard-won collective agreement rights and a workplace that reflects the values Oxfam promotes around the world.

Thank you!
