CNE organizers worry safety inspectors' strike could deter attendance (Toronto Star)

TORONTO - As the Canadian National Exhibition prepares to return to Toronto this week, organizers say they worry ongoing labour action could deter peo...

“Let’s all work together to make the CNE one of the safest places around,” Knipe said. “The supervisors have not been out on the road for a while, they normally do office work more than anything,” he said. In a statement, the organization also said TSSA management has taken “proactive measures” such as travelling to other fair sites to inspect equipment ahead of its arrival at the CNE. Striking workers also held a demonstration at the fair site on Sunday and are set to return on opening day. The organization laid off more than 50 per cent of its full-time staff to manage the losses, and employees who did stay on took salary reductions, he added. But he said he’s worried picketing outside the fair could discourage or prevent people from attending.
