Garbage Dumping

Wowsers, did anyone else catch this on A News?

  • Bah! It is probably an imposter agitator sent by management to discredit the union. Or the cell phone video has been manipulated. Yes, that's it. The CUPE member was doing pilates exercises at the park and someone photoshopped that garbage bag into their hands! Capitalist pig dogs!!

  • the importance of taking care of the ENVIRONMENT as in NATURE as in the BIOSPHERE should transcend politics but unfortunately it doesn't. w-o-w!

  • I'd like to know what the police are going to do about it since its been on the news. It is illegal to dump garbage and the city workers just did it. Is CUPE now above the law like Jim Wood getting his parking tickets cancelled. To think that people like this actually work for us, the taxpayer, is outrageous. This attitude of arrogance, priviledge and being above the law has got to stop. Time to privatize, privatize, privatize. How does it feel to be hated by 99% of the city CUPE?

  • But I thought they didn't do this stuff? I thought they were all nice and pleasant? Even the striker who told an old guy to get the fuck away from city hall when the man went to pay taxes. What about all that "mysterious wire" showing up in parks.
    Do you mean it wasn't a figment of our imaginations? Unions don't do that do they?

    It doesn't matter that they are the cream of the crop when it comes to benefits. Their wages aren't bad either but the rest of us peons...well tough shit! We either pay up and like it or we can move to where they live...the suburbs!

  • Are you trying to turn your blog into the Windsor Star, Andrew? Every mental case with chips on their shoulders is going to be here by tomorrow, deriding entire unions because of the actions of a couple of idiots.

    On preview, too late. ME and David are already here.

  • Last night while I was at the Arena, after driving a few of the Spits in the Parade, and seeing the Mayor standing in the 1 area, with his daughter, he seemed worried look on his face. I think that the CUPE guys have basically caused enough problems on this city, and are creating major headaches for not only us, but Stressing out others, to where they have to watch there back the entire time... I feel for this man because not only is he getting harassed at work, but after yesterday, the union has brought them self down to the lowest they can be, and Bothered him at home with his family. I think the city needs to do what Tecumseh and Lasalle and many other communities have in our area, and outsource all the garbage pick up and other duties to outside companies, and then we will see... I am just getting fed up with reading about all the junk the CUPE people doing, and there union is blatantly lying out there... As a comment was posted on the Windsor Star today, in the 1 article, a person commented, on how there company asked the union to see if they would help them, so they could stay alive and take a cut back and other items, and they union agreed, but that they get these items back when times get better... Now look at the City workers and what they are doing, the exact opposite of what Industry is doing, and they are getting no help now from the public... They had some at the beginning now they get sweet all.... I think the city should just cut all the jobs and start all over with outside workers and other people who are willing to work....

  • Time to give3 in CUPE, you've lost almost all public support in this city. Your leadership is a disgrace, all of you troublemakers have given every local union a bad name.

  • Speaking of the Windsor Star comments section, I had to laugh at one of the suggestions for a new bumper sticker, "Nice job CUPE. Out of a job yet?"
