A protest is planned at Corner Brook city hall tomorrow, days after the city’s minor hockey association served layoff notices to several staff members.
In a statement posted to social media, the President of the Corner Brook Minor Hockey Association, Rocky Bromley, says they’ve effectively lost nearly a third of their season due to the ongoing labour dispute between the city and the union representing civic centre employees.
The city locked the workers out last month and the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement. Bromley says the lockout has forced the cancellation of four tournaments, which will likely not be rescheduled this year.
He’s calling on the mayor and council to find a solution to salvage the rest of the hockey season.
The protest is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:00 at City Hall.
