----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear colleagues Some of you may know that approximately 200 employees of the National = Gallery of Canada, including almost all the Library and Archives staff, have now been = on strike for over 5 weeks. We are in the process of launching an email letter-writing campaign, and we are therefore in great need of your support,= for example by sending a message to our Director encouraging him to negotiate, = or by spreading the word of our strike. We are keen to attract support in Canada,= the United States and indeed worldwide for this effort. If you are prepared to participate in our campaign, or if you simply wish to know more about this situation, please contact me at my home email address (from which this = message comes): galipp=40home.com. Thank you very much for your support.
