24,000 city workers on strike right now! It's going to get smelly 'cause there will be no garbage pickup. Of course they wait for the heat to arrive.
"The key issue is that employees want to keep 18 sick days a year which can be banked and cashed out at retirement. But the City wants to create short-term disability programs instead."
Even more alarming is this!
It’s Time to Stock Up on Booze With an LCBO Strike Looming
Last week, over 3600 of the 6000 LCBO employees across the provinces voted on whether or not to strike this summer. The response was rather clear: 93% of the 3672 union members voted in favour of strike action. The LCBO employees have been without a contract since the end march. There are still negotiations planned this week and a strike could be averted. The main issues of contention are the elimination of full-time positions to be replaced by casual workers, hours of work, wages and benefits the union said.
They may go on strike as early as this Wed!
THANK GOD FOR THE BEER STORE!!!
