>> GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU

FOR JOINING US ON CTV WINDSOR.

AND TO AM 800 AMHERSTBURG

WORKERS HAVE BEEN BLINDSIDED

TODAY AND SENT HOME 2 DAYS

EARLIER THAN EXPECTED BY DIAZ.

YO UNIFOR CALLS THIS A FINAL

SHOW OF DISRESPECT WITH MORE ON

THIS BREAKING NEWS. CTV'S

MICHELLE MALUSKE TONIGHT,

MICHELLE.

>> STEPHANIE, WORKERS THOUGHT

THEY WOULD REMAIN ON THE JOB

UNTIL SATURDAY, BUT THEY WERE

SENT HOME EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

AS WE'VE REPORTED, THE COMPANY

ANNOUNCED IN AUGUST THEY WOULD

BE SHUTTERING THE AMHERSTBURG

BOTTLING FACTORY THIS MONTH.

IT COST 200 PEOPLE TO LOSE

SHIFTING PRODUCTION TO THEIR

FACILITIES IN MANITOBA AND

QUEBEC. THE MOVE GOT THE

ATTENTION OF ONTARIO PREMIER

DOUG FORD WHO IN A NOW FAMOUS

MEDIA CONFERENCE POURED OUT A

BOTTLE OF CROWN ROYAL TO SHOW

HIS DISPLEASURE AND HE

THREATENED TO PULL IT OFF LCBO

SHELVES. THEN ON FEBRUARY 13TH,

THE PROVINCE INKED A DEAL TO

KEEP CROWN ROYAL ON SHELVES

AND TO INVEST 1 MILLION IN

ECONOMIC INITIATIVES, RIGHT

IN AMHERSTBURG. CRITICS SAY,

HOWEVER, THAT DEAL DOES NOTHING

TO SUPPORT THE WORKERS WHO ARE

FACING LAYOFF. UNIFOR LOCAL

200 PRESIDENT JOHN D'AGNOLO

JUST TOLD ME TODAY THE WORKERS

WILL BE PAID FOR THE REST OF

THIS WEEK. BUT BEING SENT HOME

EARLY HAS BEEN A BLINDSIDE TO

THEM. NATIONAL PRESIDENT LOT OF

PAIN GOES ONE STEP FURTHER,

CALLING THIS QUOTE A FINAL SHOW

OF DISRESPECT. NOW THAT

23 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL. DIAZ,

YOU AIN'T WITH THE PROVINCE.

ALSO CALLS FOR AN 11 MILLION

DOLLAR COMMITMENT TO BITE GRAIN

NEUTRAL SPIRITS FROM A COMPANY

IN EASTERN ONTARIO ALONG WITH A

3 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN

NEW READY TO DRINK CROWN ROYAL

PRODUCTS MADE IN TORONTO.

THE UNION SAYS THAT DOES LITTLE

TO HELP OR REASSURE PEOPLE HERE

IN ESSEX COUNTY WHO WON'T BE

GOING TO WORK TOMORROW. NOW,

STEPHANIE, WE SPOKE WITH JOHN

D'AGNOLO JUST MOMENTS AGO, WILL

INCLUDE HIS COMMENTS ON OUR

WEBSITE AND I'LL HAVE THEM FOR

YOU TONIGHT IN OUR NEWSCAST

AT 11.

>> OKAY, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

MICHELLE MALUSKE WITH OUR

BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT. THANK

YOU. AND MORE LABOUR NEWS,

NEARLY 5 DOZEN PART-TIME

RECREATION JOBS WITH THE CITY

OF WINDSOR. OUR UNEXPECTEDLY

COMING TO AN END THIS SPRING.

CTV SANJAY MARU JOINS US WITH

MORE DETAILS ON THIS FOR US

TONIGHT TODAY. JUST STEPHANIE,

THIS ALL CENTRES AROUND WHAT'S

CALLED A MEMORANDUM OF

AGREEMENT OR AN AND THE WAY

THAT ALLOWED THE CITY TO HIRE

TEMPORARY STAFF UP TO 60

PART-TIME WORKERS TO SUPPORT

DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS INSIDE.

>> ARENAS AND COMMUNITY

CENTRES. THE CITY SAYS IT

EFFECTIVELY AND THE AGREEMENT

THAT HAD CREATED UP TO 60

PART-TIME JOBS. BUT UNION

LEADERSHIP ALLEGES THE CITY

HAD NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE

TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR

MONTHS. LATE LAST WEEK, THE

UNION SAYS IT FORMERLY REVOTE

THAT AGREEMENT. THE CITY SAYS

57 TEMPORARY PART-TIME

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES

ATTENDANCE HIRED OVER THE PAST

7 MONTHS WILL NOW SEE THEIR

JOBS COME TO AN END ON APRIL

21ST. THE CHANGE WILL NOT

AFFECT ANY REGULAR FULL-TIME

EMPLOYEES. HOWEVER, IN A

RELEASE TODAY, THE CITY SAYS

IT COMPLIED WITH ALL OF ITS

TERMS AND HELD SEVERAL MEETINGS

WITH THE UNION TO ADDRESS

OUTSTANDING CONCERNS. BUT UNION

PRESIDENT ROB COLOGNA,

MEANWHILE, ALLEGES CONCERNS

AROUND STAFFING PRACTICES HAVE

BEEN RAISED WITH THE CITY FOR

MONTHS. BUT IN A CONVERSATION I

HAD WITH HIM EARLIER THIS

AFTERNOON, HE WOULDN'T GET TOO

FAR INTO SPECIFICS. HE DOES

SAY, HOWEVER, THOSE MATTERS

INCLUDE HOW VACANCIES WERE

BEING FILLED AND HOW PART-TIME

STAFF ARE BEING SCHEDULED.

CHLOE WARNS THIS DISPUTE IS

HEADING TO ARBITRATION. A

PROCESS HE SAYS WILL ULTIMATELY

COST TAXPAYERS 10'S OF

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

>> IT'S SHOCKING TO ME THAT

THEY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT

THERE WAS MULTIPLE MEETINGS

THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING

GREAT. WE WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD

TYPICALLY ONLY EVER ME WHEN

THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL,

THINGS ARE NOT BEING TOLD

KOREAN SOCCER GRIEVANCE.

AND LIKE I SAID AT THIS POINT

TO BE MOVED EVERY TRADITION.

>> THE CITY NOTES HAD REPLACED

A PREVIOUS AGREEMENT THAT WAS

REVOKED BY THE UNION LAST JUNE,

A MOVE THAT RESULTED IN 37

POSITION REDUCTIONS LAST

SUMMER. FOR THEIR PART, THE

CITY SAYS IT'S UNCLEAR TO THEM

WHAT LED TO THE UNION'S

DECISION TO PULL BACK FROM THIS

AGREEMENT THAT HEY, SANJAY,

THANK YOU FOR THIS YEAR.

>> IN OTHER NEWS, POLICE SAY AN

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

OFFENDER WAS REARRESTED JUST

ONE HOUR AFTER WALKING INTO

JAIL. OFFICIALS WERE ALREADY

WAITING AFTER LEARNING HE MIGHT

HEAD STRAIGHT BACK TO THE

VICTIM'S HOME. AND AS CTV'S

TRAVIS FORTIN REPORTS, THAT'S

EXACTLY WHAT HE DID.

>> JUST AN HOUR AFTER BEING LET

OUT OF JAIL. POLICE SAY A

WINDSOR MAN CONVICTED OF

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE WAS

BACK IN CUFFS. THANKS TO A TIP.

THEY SAY THAT HE WAS HEADED

STRAIGHT BACK TO THE VICTIM'S

HOUSE IN VIOLATION OF A COURT

ORDER. WE MADE SURE FOR STEP

ONE WAS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF

THE VICTIM BY REMOVING HER FROM

HER RESIDENCE AND THAT SHE WAS

IN A SAFE PLACE. OFFICERS

WATCHED AND WAITED THEIR

CONCERNS CONFIRMED WHEN THE

27 YEAR-OLD SHOWED UP. WE

ARREST THEM IN THE BACKYARD

OF THE RESIDENCE. SO BEFORE HE

WAS EVEN ABLE TO KNOCK ON THE

DOOR. SO WHY WAS HE RELEASED

IN THE FIRST PLACE? PEOPLE ARE

LEFT IN JAIL FOREVER, SO

THEY'RE GOING TO BE RELEASED.

THAT'S WHY WE, THAT'S WHY THEY

ARE RELEASED WITH PROBATION

ORDERS WITH STRICT CONDITIONS.

THIS ALL HAPPENED ON MONDAY IN

THE MAN'S NOW BACK IN CUSTODY,

CHARGED WITH BREACHING HIS

PROBATION ORDER, A CHARGE

INVESTIGATORS SAY HAS TO BE

DEALT FAR TOO OFTEN. WE DID

LAST YEAR BEFORE 150 BREACHES

OF PROBATION. THAT'S JUST IN

THE IPV INTIMATE WORLD TO TURN

CONTROL THAT EXERCISE TO

SOMEBODY WHO ABUSES IS STRONGER

THAN THE ORDER NOT TO VISIT

OR BE ON SITE OR WITH 100

METRES. AND SO THEY WILL NOT

FOLLOW THAT RESTRICTION BY PV,

AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE, DESPITE

WINDSOR POLICE SEEING A 4% DROP

IN RELATED CALLS LAST YEAR.

THE PROBLEM REMAINS LABELLED AN

EPIDEMIC. AND ADVOCATES SAY THE

MOST DANGEROUS TIME CAN BE THAT

FIRST HOUR AFTER AN OFFENDER IS

RELEASED. WE WERE CONTIKI PLANS

WITH WOMEN TO MAKE SURE THAT

THEY HAVE STEPS THAT THEY CAN

DO TO MAINTAIN THEIR OWN SAFETY

AND SECURITY. SO NOT BEING

THERE.

>> WHEN HE IS RELEASED OR, YOU

KNOW, CALLING THE POLICE WHEN

SHE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE HE'LL

BE ON SITE TO SUPPORT. IS THERE

JUST TAKE SOME COURAGE TO MAKE

THAT FIRST PHONE CALL?

INVESTIGATORS SAY THEIR

PRIORITY IS ALWAYS PROTECTING

VICTIMS FIRST AND THEY WANT

PEOPLE TO KNOW HELP IS

AVAILABLE THROUGH LOCAL GROUPS

LIKE HIATUS, HOUSE POLICE,

VICTIM SERVICES AND THE SEXUAL

ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

TREATMENT CENTRE. TRAVIS

FORTNUM, CTV NEWS.

BEEN IMPACTED BY INTIMATE

PARTNER VIOLENCE, THAT IS OUR

QUESTION OF THE DAY. GO TO OUR

HIS FIRST RESCUE OF HIS CAREER.

IT WAS YOU KNOW, THE TO GET OUT

THERE AND HAVE A GOOD OUTCOME.

LAKESHORE OPP RECEIVED A CALL

AROUND 2.30 TUESDAY FOR 2 MEN

AND A FOUR-WHEELER STRANDED FAR

FROM SHORE AFTER THE ACE

CRACKED AND THEY DRIFTED AWAY.

THE 2 MEN WERE AIRLIFTED BY

THE U.S. COAST GUARD AND

BROUGHT TO WINDSOR'S AEROPORT

FOR OBSERVATION BY EMS. NEITHER

MEN WERE INJURED WERE ASKING

ANOTHER COUNTRY. TO COMING TO

CANADA. TO SAVE A CANADIAN.

THAT KIND OF FEEDS THE

NARRATIVE THAT'S HAPPENING

ACROSS THE BORDER. IT'S, WE'RE

NOT STAFF WERE NOT RESOURCED.

>> TO DO THE LEVEL OF ICE

RESCUE, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE.

TAKING YOUR VEHICLE OUT HARBOUR

A HELICOPTER.

>> THE CAUSED FALLS ON US,

RESIDENTS GOING OUT THERE

FINDING THE RECOVERING THEM,

TAKING TO YOUR REPORT. THERE'S

A HUGE COST.

>> AND THAT COSTS WENT TO THE

TAXPAYERS UNITED STATES.

NOT TO CANADA. SO WE'RE CAUSING

A COST TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.

WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT.

>> BUT IF THE ATV ENDS UP

SUBMERGED, THAT WILL COST THE

DRIVER TO $500 FINE. AND YOU

COULD BE SUBJECT UP TO $30,000.

>> OF WHICH IS APPLIED TO YOUR

FEDERAL TAX ACCOUNT. AND WE

CAN ALSO PUT ORDERS TO TO

ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND RECOVER

FOR A BOOK, A BARGE AND DIVERS

MOVING. IT'S BREAKING UP.

AND REMEMBER THIS, SOMEONE ELSE

IS GOING TO PUT THEIR LIVES

PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE IT CLEAR

TARIFFS ARE A KEY PLANK IN HIS

ECONOMIC PLAN FOR THE U.S..

THEIR VIEW OF THE AMERICAN

ADMINISTRATION IS THAT THEY'LL

BE A PRICE TO ACTS AS THE

AMERICAN MARKET. I THINK, YOU

KNOW, EVERY COUNTRY IN THE

WORLD THAT I KNOW OF IS PAYING

A PRICE. WHAT I'M SAYING IS

THAT KIND OF THOSE BEING THE

LOWEST PRICE, BUT THAT PRICE

COULD BE PAID IN JOBS. THE U.S.

OR ANYBODY ELSE FOR THINGS LIKE

CARS AND THAT KIND OF THING.

THE U.S. HAS 50% LEVIES ON

STEEL AND ALUMINUM GOING INTO

THEIR COUNTRY. AND 25% TARIFFS

>> HEALTH TEAMS, WHICH ARE MADE

UP OF DOCTORS, NURSES, SOCIAL

WORKERS AND OTHER HEALTH

PROFESSIONALS SAY FUNDING HAS

NOT KEPT UP WITH INFLATION OR

WITH THE WAGES. THE SAME

PROFESSIONALS EARN IN OTHER

HEALTH CARE SETTINGS. THE

ASSOCIATION OF FAMILY HEALTH

TEAMS OF ONTARIO SAY NURSE

PRACTITIONERS COULD MAKE AND

ADDITIONAL $20,000 OR MORE

ANNUALLY BY WORKING IN A

HOSPITAL OR PHYSICIAN

ASSISTANTS COULD MAKE AN EXTRA

$30,000. THE HEALTH TEAMS ARE

ASKING FOR 430 MILLION DOLLARS

OVER 5 YEARS TO CLOSE THAT GAP.

>> THE FIRST PERSPECTIVE THAT

WE'VE GOT A CHALLENGE IS THIS,

I DO THAT SNITCHES GET STITCHES

BECAUSE THAT CONCEPT CONTINUE

TO KEEP A GROUP OF STUDENT

QUIET WHILE THE COLLEAGUES OF

BEING PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY

ABUSE AND NOBODY IS DOING

ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

>> PINK SHIRT DAY. THE ANNUAL

ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN IS BEING

ORGANIZATION HAS RAISED MORE

THAN 3 MILLION DOLLARS FOR

YOUTH ANTI BULLYING INITIATIVES

SINCE 20

OF A LETDOWN, BUT NOTHING

HIGHLIGHT.

WHY AND THERE ARE SOME HIGH

SCHOOL BASKETBALL GOING ON

TONIGHT INVOLVING A TEEN THAT

ACCOMPLISHED A FIRST IN ITS

SCHOOL HISTORY. THIS WAS

DEFINITELY A LONG TIME COMING.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN VERY GOOD

AGAINST CONTENDING TEAMS AS

WELL, ESPECIALLY TEAMS LIKE,

YOU KNOW, KITCHENER, FLINT

BRANTFORD, THERE ARE ONE WIN

ONE TIE AND 5 LOSSES. THEY'RE

HAVING A HARD TIME. IS THAT A

CAUSE FOR CONCERN?

>> WE DIDN'T GET THE RESULTS

WERE PLAYING GOOD HOCKEY

ANALYTICALLY WE'RE, WE'RE DOING

A LOT OF REALLY GOOD THINGS.

SO CHANGING TEAMS WHO GETS

OBVIOUSLY ARE DEFENDING IS IS

ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE.

AND WE'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY TO

CREATE MORE OFFENCE.

>> WINDSOR WELCOMES THE

PETERBOROUGH PETES TO TOWN TO
