| Preacher is fucking insane. They captured the crazy 1990's vibe of the original comic book perfectly. Last night's opening ten-minute angel-brawl was one of the maddest and funniest things I've seen on TV in a long time. I love that show. I really like Peaky Blinders too and the wait kills me in be... |

| Without unions, all of those laws would be eroded away. They aren't good enough anyway. I heard a call in show about the Canada Labour Code and every caller who spoke in the entire show told of how bad they were done wrong at the hands of a company governed by the CLC. Remember Westray? It was a coa... |

| I am not saying that everyone should make $60 thou per year but minimum wage should not be a wage that is impossible to live on. Everything should be scaled up. Henry Ford realized back when he started that the people building the cars on his line couldn't afford to buy them. I believe he increased ... |

| There's also NO union to protect lazy useless workers like yourself. The height of ignorance is to make a comment like that about someone who you know nothing about. I did oilfield work too and the letter carrier gig was harder. Try 15 km per day carrying 20 pounds and up plus doing 3000 stairs. I ... |

| I answered your question. No wonder you couldn't cut it as a postie, you can't read! When I answered your question, I asked you what you did for work. A question you ignored. Without an answer, I'll just assume being a postal worker was your career best. It's not on my monitor. Keep assuming - it's... |

| The corporation also complains that the grievance process is too time consuming and costly yet they continue to operate in violation of their own agreement. They have just cut part time workers' hours without consultation with the union on the matter and it will cost them a lot of money so, once aga... |

I thought the same thing before I ever did it.
Give it a try boys. Then have a nice cry.
Oh and ontheice...you dodge my questions AND facts so you are still ahead on the forget factor. |

You can't possibly be as stupid as you appear by this thread...but I could be wrong about that.
...and I am even more embarrassed for you after that reply.
No wonder you couldn't get a union job!! |

| sure, I see your point, and I agree a union is their to negotiate that's their primary role really. However; it doesn't change the fact that defined benefit pensions are non existence in non governmental jobs, that they can easily bankrupt governments (I don't think you actually NEED me to provide ... |

| They didn't replace it because it was aging. They replaced it so they could present a corporation with all new equipment to potential buyers like UPS and the like and to decrease the number of workers (but not decrease the supervisors or white collars). Yes. Reality is that it is a top-heavy mismana... |

| It's valid when THEY screw up and still get their bonuses yet say that the belt-tightening has to be done on the front line. How have they screwed up? The company is in the red. When the management is always talking about costs and efficiency, they should be held to that standard as well. They took... |

| The amount that execs make DOES matter when they are arguing costs/sustainability and what is "fair" like their spokesperson is always saying in the media. What's fair for one worker in 1 job isn't the same for another. Trying to compare two different people in different jobs isn't a vali... |

| The union wasn't able to negotiate anything for the rural workers. They have never been able to. Perhaps the corporation keeps a blockade in that area because it is extremely profitable -I don't know. The corporation paid women less than men in some office jobs and it was found to be unjust. The cor... |
