Union Members Question Why CLC President Condemns "Vandalism" but Stays Silent on Police Brutality http://vancouver.mediacoop.ca/story/union-members-question-why-clc-boss-condemns-vandalism-stays-silent-police-brutality/4045

We are disturbed and concerned to read the statement by Ken Georgetti, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, issued during the G20 summit. The CLC issued a statement condemning ‘vandalism’ and declaring their commitment to working with the police throughout the summit; however, the CLC’s statement is shockingly silent about the violence perpetrated by the state and police, aimed at rendering the right of people to assemble, organize and resist obsolete, brutalizing our sisters, brothers and children.
