A number of trucking companies have reported serious incidents of vandalism at the Co-op Refinery in Regina, where UNIFOR members have been picketing since management locked them out Dec. 5. We previously heard about long delays, but since a judge issued an order preventing the picketers from holding up trucks there have been a number of other issues that are worrying the trucking community. Heather Day, president of C.S. Day Transport Ltd., says truckers have reported everything from messages scrawled in the dirt on the sides of vehicles to tires punctured with homemade spikes, damaged airbags, unlatched hoods, contaminated fuel, and more. Day says some of the alleged sabotage could have fatal consequences, and it's left the entire trucking community concerned. She joins Gormley now to discuss the issues the trucking industry has seen during the labour dispute.

We've just heard from Heather Day, a trucking company president who says there have been a number of serious issues at the Co-op Refinery where workers have been locked out for nearly a month. Scott Doherty is UNIFOR's lead negotiator on the refinery dispute, and he joins Gormley to address the allegations.

Saskatchewan came together and pulled off a holiday miracle for Rider legend George Reed. After he saw the 80-year-old Reed’s struggles with mobility issues, Regina’s Eric Johnson wanted to help out. Reed told him there were some financial roadblocks standing between him and improved treatment, so Johnson started a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $50,000 for Reed. People in this province stepped up and as of Thursday morning the total was closer to $60,000. Johnson joins Murray to talk about the generosity on display and how Reed reacted to the good news.
