Downtown Regina will see many fuel trucks today as those who haul fuel for Federated Co-Op are planning to hold a rally on Thursday.

The group, who say the barricades put up by Unifor at the refinery are hurting their business, will be gathering at City Hall before driving some “protest laps” around downtown including the police station.

A release from the Independent Lease Operators states .“While the Lease Operators respect Unifor’s right to peacefully picket, the illegal barricades do not represent peaceful protest in any way and need to come down. With the blockades stretching to nearly three weeks, the transportation companies are now facing the possibility of severe financial hardship, potential employee layoffs and some are even at risk of closing their doors permanently.”

The rally is scheduled to start at 10 AM.
