HAPPY EARTH DAY TO YOU!
What a mess. There is no one involved in this strike who doesn’t reek of garbage.
As someone who’s been out of work since the end of 2008, I really find it hard to any sympathy for them at all. I would gladly take a job with them tomorrow at the reduced benefits the city offered. Times they are a changin’ and the Windsor sense of entitlement needs to change too…
Maybe Windsor can be the next Naples!
I’ll tell ya, if I was mayor, I’d privatize the garbage collection (along with parking enforcement)… It can be done, cheaper and more efficiently by the private sector. After listening to the call in show the other morning on AM800, it sure seems like they don’t have public support on their side…

Guido, when Torontonian houses cost 3X's more than Windsor's your arguement doesn't factor. My taxes are $4,000 but my house is worth less than 1/3 as it would be in T.O.
Windsor's taxes are outrageous! Especially for what we get in return. We also have some of the highest water bills and don't get me started on Enwin, the "back door tax" company that the city of Windsor owns.
ME--I have family that live in Toronto and Vancouver and I would not trade my property taxes for either one. I have an average home 3 bedroom 2 baths attached 1.5 car garage and don't even pay over $3,000 dollars a year in property tax.
I will agree with you on the water rate's we pay here.
Ahhh, yes! I miss the union discussions on your site, Andrew!
I don't.
But I will say, I am thankful that everyone doesn't have your scab attitude. Times are a changin' and they will change back to the better eventually; this isn't the first recession in history. If everyone was willing to cross a picket line because they were out of work, we'd all be working for minimum wage eventually.
the whole thing is stinky! leadership needed now!
Wow. More knee jerk, reactionary bullsh*t from the balcony. I expected better here in "progressive land", from the ranks of the "creative class" lol. My bad. So let me get this straight, because you are out of work everyone should work for less... I bet if you had a job you wouldn't be so generous with your wages. I would like to know what your opinion of the unemployed was before you joined their ranks... lazy, no good etc. etc...
The easy answer is always, gut the unions, privatize everything, let THEM work for less and all will be well in the world... unfortunately that ain't working. For 30 plus years this has been the way and well here we are. Neo-liberal nonsense.
I couldnt agree more JR its a race to the bottom. But according to god richard florida we wll all be alright in his "creative class" pipe dream
The 12% of the population that own and control 75% of all the wealth, must laugh their heads off at the rest of us when we attempt to hang onto the scraps that are left. When worker is pitted against worker for relative peanuts, the elimination of any middle class must surely happen. It will be a sad day when a job at Walmart is the most coveted in this city. Oh, by the way, where is the outrage directed at the 400 odd city hall managers who rubber stamped their own up to 15% raises a few short months ago. Imagine scraping by on a mere 170 grand a year.
