Concrete chunk on the brink of collapse from downtown building

Montreal infrastructure continues its downward decline.  Firemen created a roadblock downtown on University between Cathcart and Palace Streets.  A chunk of concrete appears to be at risk of falling from the 10th floor of a commercial highrise.

A window washer has since reported noticing more loose concrete blocks on the seventh and eight floor of that building.  It is unclear when the high rise was last inspected.    

It could be days before the security perimeter is lifted.

Postal union fights back

Locked outCanada’s postal workers are once again fighting for their rights. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is taking the Harper government to court over controversial back-to-work legislation that snuffed out a series of strikes in June.

Union president Denis Lemelin calls the federal government’s actions unjust.  He says the union’s legal action is necessary in order to protect workers' rights to free collective bargaining.
