Vale-Inco strike heats up

BillieBobSmith Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - I'll respond to both of you idiots. My wife works in the healthcare sector, and the front line care givers work hard, no doubt. The support staff do nothing, and create so much waste it's sickening. All the maintenance dept. do all day is NOTHING! The IT staff, make projects that create overtime!! For example, uneducated IT support staff bring in over $100k per year, all due to overtime. The overtime they create either by starting projects at 3pm when the shift is over at 4:30!

BillieBobSmith Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - Because these IT TEchs are stupid, they need to get "Training" brought in from outside sources to finish the work, which cost the Hospital double. Healthcare is destroyed because of the Union. It should be private where you can fire the useless, not let them suck the hind tit for 30yrs. Middle class is not suffering, if you want to see suffering go outside Canada and see suffering. Canadians are a bunch of spoiled brats who don't understand hard work. Stop complaining do some work.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - The only reason that poorer countries are suffering is because of privatization and the powerful finances put into the hands of a few CEOs and Owners (Only in those countries, CEOs and Owners are referred to as tyrants, dictators, authoritarians and opressors). So no, 'Canadians are not a bunch of spoiled brats who don't understand hard work', you are just a dull benighted individual who can't understand appreciation for hard work.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - In closing, no Canadian would ever argue that we are suffering more than third-world countries. When middle-class Canadians argue that they are suffering, it is in relation to our own social status in our country, not globally. It would be ridiculous for us to compare ourselves to starving nations.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - Unions did not and are not destroying the healthcare system. Sectors like healthcare, which represent having a greater good for everybody, should never be privatized. The same could be said for education. Privatizing these parts of society would just add the growing separation of social classes.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - BillieBob, I hope you're not an owner or CEO who has anything to do with Vale INCO because as a company, I'd be embarassed by someone like you for posting anything at all. Your close-mindness, arrogance and just pure ignorance would fascinate me if you did anything more than bitch and bark orders for eight hours daily.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - UNIONS DO NOT: -Protect the weak, they protect those who choose to unite together; thus forming a union. UNIONS DO NOT: -Suck the profit and life out of companies, they provide an equal playing field so that corporations (mainly their owners and CEOs) don't suck the life out of its workers. UNIONS ARE NOT: -Communism and non-workers. This sentence of yours does not even make sense and I can't justify replying to it.

derrickchartrand Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - It's unfortunate that people like BillieBobSmith (self-proclaimed CEO and Owner) open replies by calling others idiots when they themselves come off as uneducate pompous jerks. Let's all be clear that the entire purpose of a union is for its workers to stand together in order protect their workers.

Sep 3, 2009 - If it wasn't for unions, we and our children would still be working as virtual slaves for a very select few, ultra wealthy individuals. The more we collectively unionize, the better it is for "ALL" working class people. If corporations dealt fairly with their workers, unions would not be needed; but that is not the case, and never has been. Unfortunately, we will always have uninformed working class people decrying how bad unions are, even as they reap the benefits unions have provided.
