Your post was ridiculous regardless of where today’s news cycle was. And as you say, facts don’t change your view.Meh, last I heard they weren't doing anything about it. But it's good they did. Doesn't change my view of them

Gotta say it's pretty based that you just made some shit up and then still find a way to slag the Liberals without any missed beat lolMeh, last I heard they weren't doing anything about it. But it's good they did. Doesn't change my view of them
Pretty cool eh. I can always find a way to slag those dolts.Gotta say it's pretty based that you just made some shit up and then still find a way to slag the Liberals without any missed beat lol
No shit.That was quicker than I thought. Uncle Sam must have called.
I'm 100% sure, in fact I'd wager all of the OT you didn't get.....That was quicker than I thought. Uncle Sam must have called.
And that’s just the relatively civil stuff. Not particularly unusual now for normal politicians to be getting messages left saying their families should be raped and hanged. A lot of absolutely atrocious stuff is said that falls just a bit short of the actual line of prosecutable threats.No wonder hardly anybody wants to get into politics. You slagged for not doing something and slagged for doing something.
"Peace, Order & Good Government"No wonder hardly anybody wants to get into politics. You slagged for not doing something and slagged for doing something.
I really don’t know if SecState called or not but I’m glad this strike has been nipped.That was quicker than I thought. Uncle Sam must have called.
…and also why RolexBMWboi kept sa gueule fermé…That was quicker than I thought. Uncle Sam must have called.
Better Canadian workers than American CEOs that don't care about Canadian society. I will side with my countrymen as a matter of principle over corporatists squeezing every penny out.I really don’t know if SecState called or not but I’m glad this strike has been nipped.
My dad said over 50 years ago that rail workers should not be allowed to strike and cripple the nation.
It seems unions won’t be happy until they squeeze every last nickel they can out of their employers.
Except your countrymen don't give a fiddler's F8ck about you, or me or the economy and the fact people are struggling.Better Canadian workers than American CEOs that don't care about Canadian society.

What is unsustainable about the demands being made by the union now? Tell me how it's a good idea to cut rest periods to 12 hours like the employer is advocating for. Do you want trains being run by crews in your town under those circumstances? Or are you being ideological needlessly?Except your countrymen don't give a fiddler's F8ck about you, or me or the economy and the fact people are struggling.
Many years ago a local restaurant underwent unionization. That restaurant soon went broke and closed up.
Unions can be a good thing and keep employers honest but some of the demands of unions are unsustainable, but that doesn't matter does it>
The problem has been with us for over 50 years if not longer. These rail unions do this every time. Threaten to cripple the country and whine when things need to change. I for one am tired of unions (and I am a union member) calling the shots. If its safety issues or conditions, fine. But there is always a demand for more money.What is unsustainable about the demands being made by the union now? Or are you being ideological needlessly?
I did 32 years with 12 hours between shifts, on top of an hour drive each way to work for most of it, yet some how I haven't turned into a mutant yet.What is unsustainable about the demands being made by the union now?

On the railroad? Mind you this is 10-12 from the end of shift. For a scenario, an extremely common occurrence in railroading is you expecting a train at say 3 pm let's say. You wake up at 1 pm to get ready for work. You wait for the call but it never comes. You're still on call so you sit around and wait. You're not getting paid for this time waiting around. You finally get the call at 10 pm. You have two hours to report. Your shift starts at midnight. You work from a minimum of 8 hours to a maximum of 12 hours of hard work. It's now 8 am. Head back to the crappy hotel an hour away. 10-12 hours after getting off the train you do it all over again. Rinse. Repeat.I did 32 years with 12 hours between shifts, on top of an hour drive each way to work for most of it, yet some how I haven't turned into a mutant yet.
