Canadian Railway Lock Out

[@huggybear3098]

Imagine if we had a national truckers union...you'd be totally screwed!

[@waynekasbey4710]

Time to create one!

[@stevelilly6890]

Was this planned all along? Food supply and Fertilizer supply disruptions?

[@JustinWC-w1m]

100% it was. You think they want us happy and healthy?

[@donnacabot3550]

It certainly affects the water.

Go boys . You guys deserve better ❤ . Railroad wife here of a cp man I stand by you guys .

What I want to know is why do they wait so long for to try and pound out a solution.

Tracy Robinson takes home 14.01 Million (90.8% is her Bonus) per a year

So? What was the revenue that she generated… is it that doesn’t matter.. 16.8 billion…. WHAT was yours?

[@BoreasCastel]

Let's divide that by 10,000 workers and pay it out to them and then divide the billions this strike will cost Canadians and bill them for that. $100,000 dollars owed by each striking teamster for every billion in Canadian wealth they burn during their extortion campaign. You know, as long as we're talking about who is costing what.

[@billestew7535]

I was on strike at that very same spot 2 times in 1988, lockout is probably better, it might be solved quicker, funny how all these pundits are going on t.v talking about how important the railroads are to the countries economy,but the workers are always portrayed as some kind of spoiled disobedient children, the entire country should want well rested engineers and conductors driving 100+ car trains through our cities and train yards and across the countryside and through our national parks.

[@waynekasbey4710]

Well said!

[@JustinWC-w1m]

Because your wage, pension, days off, holidays, sick days, benefits and bonuses aren't enough? Right, completely reasonable to starve the country over. You know people on pension and disability get less than 2000 a month, some less than 1000 a month. Keep complaining greedy pig.

[@BoreasCastel]

If they were offered all the rest they want and a reasonable wage they'd refuse it. Also, seniority is pure corruption and everyone with any sense and integrity knows this. It's very costly and dangerous. So clearly you're not concerned with safety or you'd want pay to be attached to merit, not years on the job.

@@waynekasbey4710 You haven't presented a single well-reasoned argument. Just claims and ridicule. $10,000 + per month is a living wage whether you want to cry about it or not.

[@thelostson9394]

Pay up!

[@waynekasbey4710]

The lockout may be painful. However, it is time for workers to stand for their rights, the right to fair work conditions, the right to a living wage brought right back up to todays standards. For years the workers (useless slaves as governments look upon you) have fallen further and further behind. Not standing for our rights and standing fast and strong has led to this while corporate increases profits and share holders increase dividends off your backs. Stand up Canada.

[@BoreasCastel]

$10,000 / month isn't a living wage? Do you think they're mistreated or do you simply have no idea how an economy works? You want investment without returns for those who save and take risks to fund business? These rail company's dividends don't even cover inflation. If the stock doesn't appreciate the investors are losing money. How much do you save and put at risk for no reward? Clearly you're not willing to spend time learning about economics, so I don't take you for someone who has ever saved and risked those savings to create a job for anyone. Perhaps you shouldn't have an opinion on these matters until you've informed yourself.

[@waynekasbey4710]

@@BoreasCastel Amusing. It's odd how perception of the receiver biases their message to the sender. Believe me I likely have much much more in investments than yourself. All workers today are being mistreated. Industries with frozen wages for almost 6 years. Then no catch up. Then add government policy prompting woke dues like yourself to make idiotic comments. Ignorance is not an asset dude. But thanks for your message and enjoy your day. Curious What are your pronouns?

[@BoreasCastel]

@@waynekasbey4710 I'm not woke, nor did anything in my comment suggest that. Why don't you reply to what others actually write? Is it because you have no capacity for reason?

[@chrome2yourdome]

Oboy i need those trains moving so i got a job to go to , i hope government stays out of it and the companys give what the union needs can we also have this strike wrapped up by sunday that when my vacation ends 🤪

[@Al-lv7vg]

Companies aren't stupid. Giving in to union demands simply sets up the next strike.

[@chrome2yourdome]

@@Al-lv7vg they wouldnt be on strike if they were being treated fairly i recon there demands are reasonable because the workers dont want to have to strike from what ive heard is the companys that arnt being reasonable in negotiations , prob hoping goverment will take away workers power force back to Work

[@JustinWC-w1m]

​@@Al-lv7vg these greedy pigs get more than most and do not have it tough.

[@BoreasCastel]

You should get the ransom you're demanding, workers should be free to work for the rail or any other job for that matter, without being in your gang, and then you should be billed for the billions this will cost Canadians as non-union mafia workers replace you over the coming years.

Does this guy even know what he is talking about???

[@ksmith4712]

Shouldn't the RCMP be locking these guys up without bail for the next couple years? That's what happened to the last blockaders.

@@ksmith4712 if you’re referring to the “freedom convoy” then the difference is we were in the middle of a pandemic for one.
