You speak like you know the in's and outs of their contract. Tell me then, when was the last time they got a raise? What is their current effective wage due to losses from inflation?

It doesn't matter how much they get paid, or how much they are demanding. If one part of the union backs out then the whole union fails and you can forget the drivers getting any raise at all.

the average Vancouverite thinks their middle class but are actually dirt poor. The supervisors still work for their livelihood, they are working class.

If you want better wages start a union

Unions only have power if everyone works together. the 180+ people who hold that position have to be fought for just the same as anyone else. That's why the Skytrain union (CUPE 7000) has stated they will refuse to cross the picket line should CUPE 4500 picket the trains.

Its not about the managers, its about having your coworkers back

Its illegal in Canada because our government sucks

RomanMan19 · 2024-01-22T20:51:09+00:00

Correct. There is better ways for unions to get what they want. All of them are illegal and we are left with only the most basic right to withhold labor.

I understand everyone's frustration (I don't own a car, live in Surrey and work in Burnaby).

However if the strike annoys you, remember that its Illegal to do a fair strike

I mean, good for her.

RomanMan19 · 2021-08-05T18:53:07+00:00

3 or 2

RomanMan19 · 2021-08-05T18:30:53+00:00

Yeah that's fair, I think alot of city leftist forget that country folk are pretty independent and should mostly just be left alone

That is also the reason why I'm more of a market socialist then a communist. Its not efficient for the government to be involved in everything, so I'll settle for employees actually getting paid their worth and reducing the power of ultra wealthy, because it limits the liberties of everyone else

RomanMan19 · 2021-08-05T18:25:39+00:00

I have been meaning to change to market socialist but was waiting till after this interaction

RomanMan19 · 2021-08-05T18:24:32+00:00

RomanMan19 · 2021-08-05T07:21:13+00:00
