International Day of Mourning re: Workplace Deaths and Injuries

[dewline]

I am reminded by a union I used to be a member of, as well as by prime minister Trudeau in his daily address this morning from Rideau Cottage of this anniversary.

This is going to be one of the biggest problems down here. Part-time employees such as myself and many contractors don't get sick leave, and corps love it. People forget how much unions brought in and tamed corporations, things like 40 hour work weeks, paid time and a half for work over 40 hours or 8 hour days, paid holidays, safer working conditions. There's so much of that the corps would have no problem undoing, you just have to look at the willingness of this 'get back to work' very small minority movement.
