  • This just happened to me a week ago. WestJet missed their own connecting flight and they found seats on an American Airlines flight to my destination via an extra overnight stay in the USA, gave me a few meal vouchers (useless at the airport 7-11) and paid for the hotel. They didn’t tell me I’d have to:

    • pay for my luggage again
    • pay roaming fees to call only to find out they gave my hotel shuttle to someone else
    • pay for a taxi ride to my resort because their shuttle service marked me as a no-show on the day I would have arrived had they not screwed up.

    The US customs agent was bewildered when told I didn’t want to visit the united states but had little choice.

    I mean, yes, it technically fits the definition of manifesto, but the word that comes to mind a “blurb”.

    I wonder if Ted Kaczynski or anyone else’s manifestos along anti-corporate-establishment lines are being censored. If not, maybe it’s because they’re a little less digestible. If so, then maybe some articles by Elizabeth Rosenthal could be posted.








  • Is this because they get limited compensation from the union for a short time during strikes and lockouts, and by being laid off at this time, this employment insurance may kick in around the same time as their union strike benefits dwindle?

    I know so little about these things. I’m just going by what my wife has mentioned in passing, and she was a local president (not as glorious a position as it sounds – more like whomever got the short straw every two years).
