New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

[Stoker]

I think it is actually a 280 story from the 1980s.

Even recently when Asterix first came from Davie to Halifax and came early the unions at Davie was pissed that they were laid off early. When the ship arrived and got all that extra work while in Halifax they found willful damage such as elevators wires cut and all the RAS gear stuffed with trash. They found out that the hard way when they were doing RAS trials. Word is HDW is in shit state at Davie and delayed, was supposed to sail down just before Christmas. Point is its not limited to one yard. Lots of stories of ships up the river in refit that the unions dragged their feet so freeze up would delay them.

Obliviously people need to be held accountable for their actions and fired accordingly.

But then the old line, 'Snitches get stiches', comes into play doesn't it?

You'd be surprised what unions get away with.
