The caw also has 250,000 members in Canada so does that mean David they should all loose thier jobs just because they ARE PART OF A UNION AND MAKE LIVING WAGES AND HAVE BENEFITS. ACCORDING TO YOU THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THEY DONT SUCK UP TO MANAGMENT LIKE YOU AND BECOME THE BOSSES PET.
Guido is right by the way Toyota will only have one shift going in woodstock.Its people like you David always blaming the WORKER FOR A COMANY'S PROBLEM that are killing this city.THE WORKER DOESN'T DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF VECHICLES THE COMPANY WILL SELL.THE BIG THREE HAVE HAD LOUSY MANAGEMENT FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY THEY ARE GETTING KILLED BY THE JAPANESE NOT BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS AND THIER UNION.REMEMBER DAVID TOYOTA AND HONDA BOTH PAY 30 BUCKS AN HOUR AND GOOD BENEFITS BECAUSE THE BIG THREE PAY THAT TO THIERS.
Hey David you should check this website out and register on the forum and let them know how much you hate unions and are jealous of what they earn.

Right Paul, unions are not causing the problems here in Windsor. That's why Windsor, once a very prosperous city, has the highest unemployment rate in the country Open your eyes for once instead of continuing to let yourself be brainwashed by union leaders trying to justify their union. It'll be your downfall.
As for the fish processng plant article, once again you've stated something that's irrelevant. It doesn't matter if the plant was union or non-union, they were in violation of provincial labour laws and were charged by the Ministry of Labour. The owners would be charged and shut down by government inspectors regardless of whether there was a union there or not.
Just because a plant is not in a union, it doesn't mean a company can opt out of Canadian labour laws. They can't. No one is above the law in this country and the law has to be followed in any case. It just takes a simple anonymous phone call to the Ministry of Labour to have a government worker come down and investigate.
You haven't shown anything to justify the union here. In fact, it was worse in this case because the plant was unionized and how long did the union leaders turn a blind eye to it? They have 60 foreign workers there. 36 being bunked in onsite housing? Numerous sexual assaults occuring there. This didn't happen over the course of one day. In fact, this sounds like union retaliation over the decertification vote in August.
of course it matters you IDOIT if it wasnt for the union the owner what of gotten away with it.OPEN YOUR EYES JACKA@#.NO DAVID ITS JEALOUS LIKE YOU THAT ARE KILLING THIS CITY YOU ARE SOOO JEALOUS OF WHAT OTHERS MAKE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A UNION and you sit on blogs like this whinning about unions and how its the union's fault for the city's woes hahah you are such a loser so jealous of others.OPEN YOUR EYES UNFAIR TRADE IS TO BLAME FOR THE CITY'S WOES NOT UNIONS.IF IT WAS UP TO BUSINESS IDOITS LIKE YOU WE ALL WOULD BE MAKING 10 BUCKS AN HOUR WITH NO BENEFITS.THINK WHAT YOU WANT BUT YOU ARE A MINORITY AS FAR AS SUPPORTING BIG BUSINESS IN THIS CITY.
Paul, you are the biggest brainwashed retard I've ever met. Go back to kindergarten and get your diploma. If you represent the majority of people in unions, then it's no wonder why this city is going down the tubes. I hope you get what you deserve and join the unemployment lines like some of your fellow brainwashed retards who share the same attitude that companies don't need to turn a profit and be competitive to exist and that you are owed a high paying job regardless of how much you hate the company.
Just keep doing what you're doing and judgment will come and you'll be knocked off your arrogant pedestal soon enough. Then, you'll be wondering why you can't find another high paying job like you've got now. You'll destroy yourself and then we'll see who has the last laugh, jackas-s.
Oh,and the owner wouldn't have gotten away with it if there wasn't a union, Paul, because what he was doing was ILLEGAL. But, I guess you're too stupid to understand that.
What was!! an entertaining and intellectual debate has become rather sad. Opinions and there variance is what makes our society such a beautiful thing. You are all having difficulty realizing the "big picture" and your egos should be left out of this so called debate (my oppinion of course). As you ramble on with your well placed sarchasm and genuine love for each other (sarchasm inserted, lol) your missing the point. Whether you believe in the unionization of workers or the development for the corperate machine in there difficulties in competing globaly with non unionized, non developped and non democratic countries, know this!! As you live your lives, the rich are getting very rich, and the middle class that have the time to read and comment to such trivial jargen is dying into poverty or joining the elite. We are all together on this beautiful land we call Canada and this is no time nor is it the venue for such class based 30's style boxing. David, I must say that I feel for you and the opposition that your incountering and respect that greatly. I also know that you feel cornered and until now you have handle it with great finess. I must say that your "to stupid to understand" comment should be left for children debating lunch sandwich preferences in schoolyards. That goes for the rest of you. Freud would paint David as someone who has a skewed oppinion based on his wanting to be able to make as much money as you with as little effort and/or feels drained from trying to make money with the current unionized class. Meaning more pay and less work and schooling with the benefits making money based on corperations "Big bucks". He is angry that random and many times less intellegent people can make a higher incomes than him and or the same income without as much effort. Your comments only aggrivates him and well.............here we are. Your all embarassing yourselves. You make to much money on a class level and it effects the lower woking order as a hole (in general)......hell, I make too much money and that in a nutshell, is why companies are going abroad to make a profit. Can you not see a level of common sense and reason in David's thoughts. Can there not be a balance in oppinons or are we destine to follow one sheperds (non biblical ref) path and not able to understand what is truely happening to us as a whole? We are not our past and we are not our parents. The union isn't the problem, we are. Now can we all say sorry and thank Andrew for his social contribution to our community with this amazing site? Now, lets all chill out and let the world rape us of our resources. We should all complain about gas prices next and our inaction to due anything about the fact that the rich never post a loss and as the US buckles down for the next deppression, let us all thank China for purchasing failing US companies and institutions. Great olympics eh!! Social government can make a mean bullshit sporting event, eh! It will be unsurpased and so will there ranking in the world economicaly. P.S. I am an active union member!!
*claps* good stuff!
