🙄🙄governments care about no one only their pockets ….. all need to go to jail
Canada clearly doesn't value rail workers, so shut it all down.
Soon, it will be the same with hospitals and schools. Who in their right mind would want to work in any public service in this country?
Teamsters use the workers collecting a weekly fee with promises but when you retire teamsters are hard to find for your retirement payment. Proof me wrong and why they come to your job and push to to vote for guys as union leaders. I only worked for one company in Canada for 7 years once I was laid off after a few months I was advised to call teamsters to collect all my benefits since I no longer work for the company to pay my fees. They weren’t very helpful so I told my story to CTV and a reporter did the investigation and got all my money minus the taxes. Every day you don’t work and the end of the strike you all have to pay your union fees, remember that. All I remember the quarterly teamsters magazine with pictures of over weight men in front of they $8 million homes all paid by union members
@Global News CN workers never went on strike. It should say after a brief lockout. It’s important to fact check and issue correct information.
"NoBoDy WanTs To WOrK aNyMoRe" Geez I wonder why? Maybe instead of siding with a minority of corrupt business leaders our government should be fighting for the majority of workers, who provide all the profits for these business leaders? That would be democratic, but instead the government has done the opposite of acting democratically and has acted with fascism instead. The workers of Canada are not your slaves! These business leaders should be treated with impartiality and fairness – not sided with unfairly against those who do the work!
CN & CP are some of the most crooked companies in the country, they are older than Canada, have their own federal police, they write the rules. They don't give a dam about any of their workers.
And government doesn't care, they force everyone back to work any "essential service"
