Unifor has removed the picture of Kalpesh Patel from their controversial “Meet the Scabs” social media video.
The video, which has been viewed over 2500 times on Twitter, has led Patel to threaten to file a lawsuit against the union if he was not removed for the video.
ICYMI – Meet the Co-op Scabs.
There is no excuse to cross a picket line and steal from another worker’s family. @Unifor594 members who are locked out @CoopRefinery deserve a #fairdeal from greedy @CoopFCL #canlab pic.twitter.com/VNgH1aKeRJ— Unifor (@UniforTheUnion) January 15, 2020
While the video does not show Patel’s name or picture, it also doesn’t include an apology that Patel, who is a local business owner that says he’s never worked at the Co-op Refinery Complex, was looking for.
