Rae speaks to students about the Electro-Motive lockout.
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae spoke to first-year broadcast journalism students on Friday about a range of issues, from the recent Liberal party policy convention to the future of his leadership. Rae also participated in the day’s lesson, which focused on the work stoppage at the Electro-Motive plant in nearby London, Ont. Students were assigned to write an advancer about Saturday’s planned rally in London’s Victoria Park in support of locked-out workers; Rae provided his views on that labour situation. Following additional interviews with reporters with the Waterloo Region Record and 519onlinenews.com, Rae concluded his visit to the college and headed for the Electro-Motive picket line, where he planned to meet with the union’s bargaining team.
