I understand that you want to negotiate a fair deal with your bosses for the work you do... if you don't get a good deal go work elsewhere...


A lot of people may think this, but unfortunately there is a drawback.. Going and working elsewhere means someone cheaper will come in to do that work, and in order to keep costs low, they may not do as good a job or follow proper practices.

And I don't care how many ads a builder does in the Toronto Star, they are all incredibly cheap and constantly looking for ways to squeeze money out of a project and their trades.

In regular employment, you cannot just fire someone and replace them with someone else who will work for less. This is illegal. You can however fire them and have their work migrated into existing employees job descriptions, but do you really want the plumber also trying to do the roofing?

It's a frickin street/intersection. Police IMO aren't doing their job, legal strike or not, the job of the Police are to prevent traffic situations and proper use of the road intact.



In my experience, the police usually go light on the union, barring any blatantly illegal activity. After all, they're unionized, too

All things being equal, I always buy products from makers with non-unionized warkforce, if any. And I will be very happy to see the big three go under.
