    i worked at a hydroelectric project once with a bunch of whacked out useless union pricks
    it was amazing how lazy they were and how entitled they were
    had a couple union votes while i was there , never did go union
    they are conniving lazy entitled assholes , nothing more , nothing less
    was on a carpenter crew and one of those whackos was giving me shit for changing a light bulb
    they forget that we the consumers are paying for their foolishness
    1 replacement worker doing same job as 3 union hacks doesn't surprise me one bit, and that is whats happening . they got too greedy and now the general public is seeing how useless they are

      I'm betting most of the population somewhat supportive. Think about it.
      Govt larger employer. General sense of entitlement at large. Business people smaller pop and often mistrusted.
      Indoctrination well taught in Union families from grade school. Free summer camps. Well organized politically and generous media campaigns.
      As our medical and education people are unionized, I'm not necessarily all against.
      But often I remember a "strike" at Lakeside in the eighties I believe.
      Camped out in highway ditch for two years before they gave up. Now the packing plant all Somalis happy to work and very good with knives.

      So who runs ad campaigns regarding union excess???? Enforcement? Light bulb stories??
      In this day and age, if wages are within a normal range, then employers should be allowed to fire them all.

          I wonder if this guy has access to Angriville in the slammer

          Its very unfortunate that the union demands the "sense of entitlement" attitude out of members and the sad thing is you have to be part of the union whether you like it or not if you want to work here.

          Co-op employees had a really good gig with the way is has always been, I guess who would want to bend over if you have received a lucrative perk this long.

          Suck it up Unifor people and get back to work or move aside and let those that would appreciate the opportunity and excel at the position take your job! Since you feel you are so good at what you do, there must be ample opportunities elseware

              I think it was well over 10 years. I was there for most of it. For a while there were three and then there was one lonely picket there more or less permanently. Life went on.

              Meanwhile in Regina this is nothing more than a photo op for Jerry. He will get millions in dues out of that shot of him in the paddy wagon. The only consolation I'm taking from this is that its Federated that has to wear the negative PR. Goddam socialists all of them.

                  Could easily cut the staff back to 300 and increase our dividend cheque’s.

                  Time to trim the useless fat.

                        Mr. Diaz commented on numerous occasions that Federated makes 3 million dollars per day, implying they can afford to pay employees more.

                        How zealous would Mr. Diaz be if his accountant sent him a higher bill based solely on a increase in Mr. Diaz's own income.

                          This strike is really about defined benefit pensions. Federated wants to move to defined contribution pensions and - not surprisingly - the union wants to hang onto what they've had in the past. I can't say I blame them but that kind of gold plated pension doesn't exist anywhere anymore except in Parliament. I have no love for Federated. Its fun to watch them squirm.

                              Read there shipping it out by rail.
                              Then loading trucks..
                              Bypassing the blockade..
                              That is why unifor blocked the CP line..
