AIDS committee picket On Monday, members of the North Bay AIDS committee could be on strike or on a lockout if a deal isn’t reached before then.

Workers held a picket today asking the employer to come back to the negotiating table to discuss the local’s first contract.

Kristina Rancourt works at the committee office and says they are asking the employer to just keep things the way they are, but the two sides haven’t met since May.

She adds a strike or lockout would hurt those in the community who rely on the AIDS committee for supplies, medical support and medication.
