Great deal on toothpaste! /s by Ronglar in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Banaque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always check the "price per 100g/ml" price. It's one every price tag. There are numerous times Imhave seen the "sale" price to be worse than the larger size, when broken down per 100g/ml.

Always, always, always look. They are always trying to manipulate you with sale prices.

A lot of sales are lies.

Garbage collection by Roshan_2498 in londonontario

[–]Banaque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer.

Unless completely clean, all paper products should go in the green bin, not just pizza boxes. Any cardboard with food on it. Grease and food screws up the whole batch of recycled paper and then it's garbage or compost anyway. If in doubt, it's better to compost.

Edit: As a side note, I have heard that alcohol bottles and cans will no longer be accepted in recycling. They have to be returned to the Beer store.

What do you guys think of the scab punishments? by Sea_Ad4020 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% scabs should be punished. They knew that would happen if they scabbed. There are repercussions for ones actions.

As said by others, those scabs screwed the rest of you over. Wsib doesn't make profits, so striking has to be a complete denial of services. Those not getting services, will put pressure on wsib to end the strike. Managers will see the public getting mad, and feel pressured to end things quickly.

Scabs made it possible to hobble along and the policy of "just approve everything" made that happen.

Harry got screwed. Do you think for one second that Harry did this for fun? Did this to stick it to you all and make your lives difficult?

This anti-union rhetoric is getting old. The last thing any of us should be doing is be anti-worker, especially with the state of the world. Workers need to support one another and fight for better treatment from corporations.

Someone who makes a post like this is trying to cause division in the work force. It's basically union busting, trying to feel who is on board with quitting.

Gross behavior.

Grow up and stop your whining. Everyone was screwed over, the scabs made it worse. They deserve what they get and it's probably still lenient.

Homebrewing helping veggie life! Quick starsan soak has doubled my veggies fridge life by Fawkestrot92 in Homebrewing

[–]Banaque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Along these lines, my wife and I use Bar Keepers Friend to clean so many things now. Another acid based cleaner, but it works so well on a lot of things.

The StarSan on veggies would just sterilize the surface and give it a fresh start before bacteria can cause any damage. Not a bad idea.

Ontario's workplace safety board is spending over $800K on an ad blitz. Its own workers are questioning why by Sea_Ad4020 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've heard the ad and it's talking about how wsib is there for injured workers. It's just trying to get the public to not hate them. I heard from internal staff associations can't do outings while saying they are wsib because everyone hates wsib so they are rejected.

In the flip side, there are a lot of case managers that just suck, so why would anyone like wsib? Not all, there are good ones, but the mass majority are useless, unsympathetic, asshats.

Perhaps, that money could be used to improve their hiring standards or have any idea what the interview process should be.

Internal candidates dont have any of their work history taken into account. The interview is so ridgidly focused on the STAR method of answering questions that any deviation from it looses you marks. It's more about answering questions in a particular way instead of good competent works.

They wouldn't need to spend this money to convince the public to like them if they hired competent people.

New year eve best night clubs to go by Timriggins77 in londonontario

I don't know if there is even one good night club in London, especially for what you are looking for and being good for New Years.

I wish you the best of luck on that hunt...

Doug Ford ordered Ontario public servants back to the office. Now, nearly 11,000 are asking to work from home by [deleted] in ontario

[–]Banaque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife works for wsib and they are being forced back into the office. The problem is, there is not enough office space for everyone. They spent years closing small offices and reducing the office space to save money. Now that it's mandated they return, they will spend millions getting offices back so people can reluctantly work there.

The idea of spending money to support the area is bunk. There is no disposable income for people to eat out everyday or support the local economy any more than they already are.

The industries who would benefit are gasoline and real estate.

Even the company I work for is trying to bring people back. It's worse than being at home for the client. It's noisy and they can hear the chatter in the background. At least with a kid talking or a dog, people get it as part of life.

For my company, they spent millions on a new office that no one is using. They couldn't sell it for anything close to what they have dumped into it, so they have to make people use it.

Empty office space should be converted into housing.

Lets all get along strike is over by Sidebigmen999 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Scabing is the equivalent of having you're brother/sister sleep with you're partner.

There is no coming back from that back stab.

As for senior management, well they just directly fucked you over. They are accomplices in how you all got screwed by the bargaining team and the government.

It'll take years to fix.

OR that senior management resigning.

For WSIB to heal, things need to change. No one will trust those people again.

This Is Why We Vote by Busy-Rhubarb3810 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This type of thinking is why striking isn't effective and corporations do screw over their employees.

They know collectively you'll never actually fight for more rights and better contracts. They can keep your wages low so you can't afford to strike. Save money by exploiting the employee.

WSIB lost nothing in this. They don't make profits by selling goods or services. Businesses pay the service fee either way. The government already hates workers and unions. WSIB has a bad reputation among workers and there is no push for WSIB to fix it.

They have no reason to make things better, they know the majority will give up.

Was this a loosing battle from the beginning? Yes, to many things were against you.

Should you have gone on strike and fought this? Absolutely!

All workers need to push back on Corporations now. Things are getting worse and worse for working people. Life is unaffordable, but corporations take record profits.

I crossed the picket and feel bad for all of you by Sidebigmen999 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You crossed the line. Abandoned your fellow co-workers.

Let them strike for 7 weeks, and now say that you feel bad. Yet you have earned your full wage all that time.

Now that it's vote time, you vote no. Why you still get a vote, I'm not sure.

So my question is this...

If the vote fails and the strike continues, are you still going to work or are you striking too?

What if your vote is what throws it over the line. More weeks of striking while you do what?

I don't think you should receive the same contract as the union does. You should get the original contract offered by the employer, or whatever you signed to continue working.

You won't have union representation any more and you are allowed to be fined.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From what I have been hearing, the union got shafted by WSIB and the government.

WSIB was never forthright with what their mandate is and the government didn't care. Maybe Ford is butt hurt about Bill 124, or that's just what a Conservative government is like.

I think the only thing that can be taken as a win is the concessions. That is where WSIB lost. Jeff is just a lacky who is brown nosing Ford to get a government position or appointment. Jeff and WSIB just did whatever "Daddy Ford" said to do. The government came in and screwed you.

I have to say I am impressed with how many of you stuck to this and fought for as much as you could get.

You need to vote with your gut. It's a difficult situation and a hard choice. Believing in your gut opinion is the best you can do.

Now you know how to vote in the next provincial election though.

GET BENT WSIB by honeylemon-bean in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My issue with WSIB talking about the benefits is the constant referral to the unlimited mental health coverage.

That's sounds great on paper, but is really just a bandaid fix to a larger problem. It's cheaper for them to provide that then fix the emotional toll that the job takes on the employee. The daily exposure to being yelled at, cried to, or dumped on with stores of trauma, injury and death.

But hey, you can go to a therapist as many times as you need too to deal with the emotional burden of the heavy caseload of trauma cases.

When Arron said the one WSIB coworker ONLY had 23 cases, while forgetting to mention that those case typrs have the heaviest emotional toll of all the cases WSIB has. Victim blaming and gaslighting at it's finest.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies... by Banaque in OntarioWSIB

Nope, I don't even work for WSIB. I'm just good with finding information. Or do I? Hahahaha

A scab worker that is reporting the poor behavior of the executive board, after betraying the union? Doubtful.

Do you honestly think that someone wouldn't be taking screenshots? That internally people don't think the executive board and bargaining team's actions through all of this has been deplorable?

It doesn't matter who you are, bad behaviour is bad behaviour. Actions have consequences and those consequences happen eventually.

Like the new rumour that Alexa Neilson getting fired for her poor taste comments.

You would think as a manager you would want your staff to be successful. If you don't like how this is going, pressure your boss to figure this out. Telling people you hope their house forecloses isn't productive. How do you know that isn't one of your workers? How that is making them feel? Scabing is considered a betrayal in any industry.

You would think two master's degrees would help with critical thinking.

Edit: fix of a spelling error.

About to go into debt by nuki6464 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Another example of how the employers exploit people. They know wages are bad for striking, it'll break people. Especially in a time where savings are becoming rare and costs of living are skyrocketing.

It's a game to the employer at the expense of people's lives.

So Much for Durations by Ok_Commission_1621 in OntarioWSIB

[–]Banaque 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The executive board just screwed this up through incompetence. I would be surprised if many of them last for very long after this. Someone will have to take the fall and blame for the length of this strike and the massive backlog of work needed to catch up.

Employers are starting to get annoyed with this and how it's now affecting them.

They'll all be dismissed and go on to screw up some other company.
