A Safety Warning For Travelers to Canada

[Turkeytop]

Stop, Look and Listen at all CN Rail crossings. The signals or gates may not be working. The workers who maintain that equipment are on a legal strike and their work is being performed by scabs. For your own safety, don't rely on the scabs to actually know what they're doing. Stop, look and listen.

Translation: lazy union fucks are taking what will eventually be PTO and in the meantime, people are choosing to work to help their families.

[Turkeytop]

That's your spin on it.

The parties have reached an impasse in bargaining. Strike or lockout is the next legal step. The railways have been conditioned by right wing Liberal and Conservative governments toe expect a legislated end to the dispute. That will happen eventually. Meanwhile, the railroad is putting public safety at risk.

If you're crossing into Windsor, be especially wary at those busy crossings on Walker Rd.

[Matt]

The lazy workers are giving others an opportunity. It might actually be safer.

[Turkeytop]

Canada is evperiencing an accute labour shortage right now. There are plenty of legitimate jobs around. No one has to take a scab job. Anyone with any self respect would not.

These people are patriots, doing the work the lazy union payees won't.

Right. I get it now. Patriots, just like you and your esteemed Trump rioters

I'm not a Trump fan. I support workers, not union payees.

[Turkeytop]

OK. But if you get run over by a train, don't say you weren't warned.

Are you assuming that I can't tell if a train is coming without union payees notifying me?

I'm sure you can tell if you heed the advice I gave you at the beginning of this thread. Stop, Look and Listen."

Matt is just pissed that the union employees at the company he works at get paid more and receive better benefits than he does.

For what it's worth the first Starbucks location has unionized in the Northeast.

I am pretty damn pro union, but I find your logic faulty. You automatically assume the worst of people. I am sure that the company has them minding their p’s and q’s to avoid lawsuits. With how regulated things are in Canada, that is the last concern I would have.

Assume the worst of prople? You bet I do when those "people" are scabs.

I suppose you're too young to rember the Bridgstone Firestone strike back in the 1990s. People died when their scab made tires failed on their Ford vehicles.

I am 39 and yes I remember Firestone. That was corporate greed. Your country takes its regulations much more seriously than here. We have OSHA, with whom the right just laughs at most of the time.
