minus-squarecorsicanguppylinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·11 months agoThat’s … that’s pretty Canadian, right there. Hat’s off to you.
minus-squareGrant_MlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down9·11 months 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-up13·11 months 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-squarecorsicanguppylinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·11 months 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?
