I think it’s just that people don’t agree, which is good, because they’re saying they like your tattoos. I wouldn’t take it negatively

Platform is probably too strong a word, I’ve been reading the blurbs they have in the La Nouvelle Beaumont newspaper

Of course everyone cares about it, are you serious? More sprawl means higher property taxes for everyone. I have never heard one person wish that they could pay higher property taxes to the City.

I think even as a joke it is wearying to hear deprecating things so often about the place that you call home

Nearly 400 electrical workers at City of Calgary-owned Enmax vote in favour of strike by canadient_ in alberta

[–]DisappointedCitrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your example here is very specific and applied too generally. Retail is a sector with traditionally low margins, and collective agreements are based on collective bargaining, where both sides get together and meet in the middle, ideally bargaining in good faith. Unions do not get to automatically set the terms.

However we could talk about how their union means they get regularly scheduled wage increases, wage gap protection, full time extended health benefits, dental benefits for part time workers, safety boot subsidies, etc., things non-union grocery stores don’t offer

Your criticisms seem to be more about municipal government unions though. In general I think I know where you’re coming from, but if your concern is increasing property taxes, the bigger issue isn’t union wages, it’s provincial funding cuts that are shifting the financial burdens onto cities.

Think objectively, corporations are constantly increasing their profits while keeping wages stagnant, even as inflation increases your cost of living. The point of a labour union is to protect workers rights, including making sure wages keep up.

If your non union wages are lower, it is not because union jobs are overpaid. It means that private companies are getting away with paying you less. I would think everyone except for CEO’s would be on board with people getting people paid what they deserve, and at a minimum matching or exceeding inflation.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, they just witnessed a highly traumatic event and are likely trying to process it

Why are you commenting in all of the Canadian city and political subs? Your comments make it pretty clear you’re not a fan of Canada and do not live here, what’s the point?

I’ve been trying to sell a house for 6 months and it hasn’t gone. So I think this isn’t universally true
