    To the individual worker that was screwed this will be meaningless - hence their action this morning. They are rightfully pissed off.

      Do you think the investment bank workers who were laid off after 20 years of services weren't pissed off as well?

      I didn't see them protesting and blocking trading from happening.

      Seems like unions cause people to act like petulant children.

        Did they sign a contract gauranteeing job security in exchange for concessions two weeks before?

          Tell me, what concessions did they make and how massive were these concessions to cause significant discourse over a period of two weeks?

            Exactly what concessions? You can find that info just as easy as me.

            The scale of the concessions seems irrelevent. The deal was x for y and both parties agreed.

              And then one broke off the contract and paid fees.

              Big deal.

                I'm no union supporter (particularly CAW) but I'd be right pissed at GM if I were a member of that union today.

                I've been laid off before and that is never fun but to give concessions to prevent layoffs only to be sent packing two weeks later is dishonest at best.

                  You're right. I can't think of a single time union workers have backed out or an agreement or contract by striking or whatnot.

                            Consider it a wide open Canadian topics thread.

                            What would you like to discuss embalmer?

                              You'd jack your own thread? Are you being generous...or just bored?
