Not even young people. My company is setting up and firing their older staff to replace with TFW because cheaper... while simultaneously holding meetings about deteriorating deliverables quality...
Rumor has it, still has bedroom for rent; bidding has passed 3k.
It's a shame they didn't vet their members. Can confirm; Lived in VanIsle... Thats how hippies be.
subsidies to private enterprise are just another name for corruption.
The problem is management isnt willing to negotiate. Everything here is done in bad faith and they plan to use politics to force their way. All workers want is a cost of living wage; while CNR wants to cut EVERYTHING significantly. All from a company posting record profits.
Because the contract they are trying to shove through is nothing but bad for existing employees; and even worse for new ones. Huge cuts to benefits and pay, huge demands on extra working hours, shifts, and rotations; along with forcing any employee to move anywhere at any time with zero notice. All from a company posting record profits.
The workers just want a 7% raise to keep up with inflation. Average salary is 45k unless super senior.
Binding arbitration means at-least some of these horrendous measures would be forced.
Strike is the only option and from what I've been hearing, management is just going to try to use the strike against them.
I just want to be able to afford both food and rent in the job I studied 7 years to achieve; not be under threat of being replaced by a know-nothing with fake credentials from another country because cheaper.
I never said you cant do it, but its going to suck and take forever.
you're the exception, not the norm. When I have to take the worktruck to BC its 12hr days stopping once for 200L. 3-4 day drive depending on the weather and borders. Simply can't do that in an electric and itll be a long time before the infrastructure is ready for it. Think thats an extreme circumstance? How about Ottawa from Toronto in 6hrs? thats a STRETCH with modern long range electrics. Quebec City, the Sue, Halifax? All one day drives with gas currently. Until that problem is solved; electric is a great city runner and not much more.
Does anyone actually believe these lies still?
Massive GO rail upgrades and tolls could quickly counter this but they've decided to go all in on another useless highway that will likely be sold for pennies on the dollar.
