Admiration and respect must be extended to Barry Malcolm, a striking CUPE worker who also happens to be Freedom Party's candidate for London North in the recent provincial election.
Barry's support of Freedom Party and the principles it represents was made well known to CUPE's representatives. Barry repeatedly addressed the nature of the union's strategy and goals, both at union meetings and on the picket line. Ironically, despite their numbers, it was union executives and supporters who were always intimidated when Barry was in their presence, and not the reverse.
Barry's arguments must have been effective, since not one of his 17 co-workers on a picket-line would sign a "petition of unity" when CUPE representative Gilles LeBel approached them while on strike duty.
