Posted: Feb. 13, 2024 6:10PMLen Rafter sits on the deck of his in-laws, but he should be working as one of the security screeners at Victoria International Airport .

Then, a month later, on Feb. 6, he says he was brought into an office and told he was fired, along with 26 other union members who worked as security screeners and nine managers in the screening department.“Your feeling of self-worth is gone. And now I’m feeling isolated and alone because I’m trying to reach out. What can I do as a Canadian? I don’t know.”He screened passengers, airport employees, and vehicles and knew there were some minor issues but nothing significant.
