Episode Notes The union behind Montreal’s main harm-reduction organization is set to strike if things don’t change at the bargaining table. Workers at the Groupe de Recherche et d’Intervention Psychosociale (GRIP) adopted a five-day strike mandate last week. GRIP union representative Marie Fournier told CKUT workers are asking for salaries to reflect experience and expertise. They also want changes to the system of occasional work. She said if not, Montrealers may see picketers at Igloofest this weekend. GRIP management did not respond to a request for comment from CKUT.
