Thousands of striking CUPE and NAPE workers marched through downtown St. John’s Newfoundland as the province-wide strike entered its sixth day.
The premier had blamed the unions for the incident.
Picket lines tightened today as both sides withdrew compromise offers aimed at a quick resolution to the strike. The CUPE Newfoundland Labrador site has a list of concessions the province is demanding.
