Minister using CIRB review as "judge, jury and executioner" | Power Play with Mike Le Couteur

[@SMac86]

The saddest part about the labour movement under this government is they have shown time and again they will back the company over the worker with orders and legislation - all the company had to do is hold out and wait for a government mandated rescue. Shame on the NDP for backing this government.

You know, that's called a strategic strike. The company is at least equally responsible by locking out any type of worker. The management continues to collect a paycheck while not having to do their normal duties. Meanwhile, the workers are not getting paid during Christmas and are in the cold. Who is more motivated to make a deal? It's become the standard company playbook in Canada - hold out at all costs till the government orders workers back to work.

[@ajimbo12345]

In our retirement community, Sandy Cove, Innisfil. I was speaking to the Canada Post woman who was filling the community mailbox slots. Ever since our small local newspapers disappeared that included numerous flyers, it has been the responsibility of Canada Post workers to now deliver these flyers. I questioned her about the nuisance aspect of the flyers and she advised me that it takes her between two to three hours every day to allot the flyers to each individual customer, time for which SHE IS NOT PAID and that she had no choice but to do it. Didn't seem at all fair to me so I asked her what her union was doing about it? Her reply -- they're working on it. I guess not enough since hence the strike.

[@jodyperyk1978]

You are greedy. Every other worker in Canada does NOT het what you have. Just because you were given 10 sick days and 3 personal days does not mean it isn’t a benefit - it is. So on top of those “given” benefits you also want a 24% raise. I too have worked at my job for 28 years and I do not have 7 weeks, 10 sick days, 3 personal days and a yearly pay increase. Sir, you just don’t get it. This here is part of the divide, those who work to pay the bills and those who receive the bills. They always want more.
