Unifor removes Regina man from video

Unifor has edited a Regina man out of its “meet the scabs” video.

Kalpesh Patel doesn’t appear in a new video which was posted to social media on Wednesday.

Patel’s face and name were on display Friday when Unifor posted a video of people it said were replacement workers at the Co-op refinery.

Patel went public, saying he had never worked at the Co-op refinery, and threatened to sue if he wasn’t removed from the video.

He spoke to the media Monday and reiterated his claims that he was the victim of a case of mistaken identity. He repeated over and over again during the media conference that he just wanted his name cleared.

The video Unifor posted Wednesday doesn’t include Patel’s face or name, but its post on social media doesn’t include the apology Patel was seeking, either.

Calls to Unifor seeking comment have yet to be returned.
