Ok, surrender any holidays, sick leave, extended health benefits, ALL overtime pay and work 7 days a week 8+ hours. Still don't like unions? Because union collective bargaining got those things to be the standard, for non union jobs as well.

@@SMac86lmao, most workers don’t have unions and they get treated just fine buddy. This isn’t the 1800s.

[@SMac86]

@JamesSmithTexas Hey, you know you get treated "fine" because unions are always fighting for more. You have vacation pay, OT pay, weekends, 8 hr shift, extended health benefits, sick time? Those are some of the things unions fought for that the non union sector adapted to keep competitive. Please educate yourself, if unions go so do all employers incentives to treat workers fairly.

You do know that inflation has damaged the quality of life for the families that depend on a living wage. You had the benefit of 30 years of PO union job security, and now you desert your frontline brothers and sisters on strike for job security and a living wage (adjusted for Liberal government created inflation)? Why? Are you really sure that this is the time for you to be saying this? The difficult decision to strike made by Union PO workers with kids, and car payments, has to be respected. If you can't support them in public forums like this without any detail as to why, stay silent (my opinion).
