[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 595842"] 33 years of being union? That's a long time to lose touch with the real world of nonunion workers. Maybe you should try getting another job and see how long they put up with the stuff that the union attempts to protect us from. You don't think walmart employees would like a union so they make more then $8 an hour? Or what about the cashier at the mall? If you don't like the union and not willing to make a few sacrifices for protection then go work one of those jobs where you have 0 protection. My previous job, I phoned in sick 2 hours (UPS contract states I only need an hour) before my shift. I had bad food poisoning (as both a blood test and urine test proved later). I was told to either show up to my shift or I would be terminated. The reason for the termination? 'Employee did not fulfill expectations'. I went to work and still got termed later for it. Yes, I will give up some of my 'rights' for the protection of my union. All I need now is a doctors note and nobody says boo about it. There are LOTS of politics that I find stupid with this job but at least there ARE politics. A nonunion job, there's no politics. You screw up, you're fired. Have a nice life. Also don't lump in all Canadians with myself. It's my personal belief and mine alone. [/QUOTE]
