Media Advisory: OFL President Sid Ryan in Sudbury, Oct. 3 for Media Conference

SUDBURY, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 2, 2011) - On Mon., Oct 3, OFL President Sid Ryan will join Sudbury NDP candidates, France Gélinas and Paul Loewenberg for a media conference highlighting the critical issues of jobs and the economy.

Only days before the provincial election, Ryan will be urging union members and all workers to use the power of their vote to ensure a NDP victory. "Good jobs and strong public services are vital to Northern competitiveness and Sudbury's future," said Ryan. "More corporate tax breaks, fewer and lower-paying jobs and contracted public services will impair the North's ability to sustain the difficult times ahead."

• Sid Ryan, President, Ontario Federation of Labour
• France Gélinas NDP MPP for Nickel Belt
• Paul Loewenberg, NDP Sudbury candidate

Ryan will be meeting with Sudbury labour leaders after the media conference.

The OFL is Canada's largest provincial labour federation representing 54 unions and one million Ontario workers.
