[QUOTE="klein, post: 901101, member: 23950"] [SIZE=4]Alberta labour leaders rally with Occupy demonstrators [/SIZE] Occupy Calgary got a boost from local labour leaders this weekend. Dozens of union supporters and demonstrators joined the the Olympic Plaza group Saturday and rallied for labour solidarity outside Calgary's City Hall. The Alberta Federation of Labour’s Terry Inigo-Jones said joining the Occupy movement was a natural fit. “They're fighting for some of the same issues that we've been fighting for for nearly 100 years, so we've issued statements of support for them,” he said. This week, the Occupy Edmonton group received a $7,500 donation from Occupy Wall Street for winterized tents. Edmonton had its first snowfall of the year early Saturday morning, and demonstrators there vow they will wait out the winter.
