minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·1 year agoThat’s … that’s pretty Canadian, right there. Hat’s off to you.
minus-squareGrant_M@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down9·1 year agoI’m willing to do the same. And the port workers also need more effective negotiators willing to do the work.
minus-squareNouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoHow? Find a middle ground on the number of jobs to cut to non-union workers per year? The top four companies represent posted profits of $100, $25, $20, and $15 billion dollars. That’s a third of Canada’s expenditures.
minus-squareGrant_M@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoI am not a professional negotiator, but there MUST be a solution found without calling in the government.

minus-squareGrant_M@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI’m absolutely NOT on the side of billionaires.

minus-squarecorsicanguppy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·1 year agoI was infantry. I suspect you don’t know how we spit-polish a boot. There’s a slight variation in taste depending on brand and mixture. Did you intend to out yourself as tough-guy con chicken-hawk with that weak jab?
