Unions are a plague on our society…and it couldn’t have been made more clear than in the Heavily NDP Voting City of Edmonton…Link
Where the cost of living has skyrocketed, interest rates are out of control, we are seeing the highest FoodBank numbers ever…the unions fought and won a case so that they don’t have to pay their own traffic tickets, when they are in a City Vehicle…so, since July - 2021, taxpayers have had to cover $38,444 for these tickets.
City employees haven’t had to pay their own tickets since July 2021, when the union representing transit drivers won an arbitration hearing that found making drivers pay the fines on top of receiving internal sanctions including suspensions or reprimands amounted to double discipline.
Lemme ask you this…
Have you ever worked for a company that provided a vehicle - non-union?
Do you know what happens when you get a traffic ticket, working in the private sector?
You get Double Disciplined!
These can extend up to losing your ability to drive a company vehicle and can also lead to termination…in addition to paying the fines!
But not for the unions…Nope
They’re special.
They’re so special that they can use PACs to purchase elections to support Left Leaning political candidates:
This isn’t exclusive to Edmonton or Calgary, by way of mayors…it’s the entire NDP Party that has union PAC Money supporting their campaigns…and their campaigns openly support unions.
In her almost every tweet, Rachel ‘pour me a double’ Notley seemingly supports education and healthcare…who are coincidentally 2 of the largest union taxpayer funded positions in Alberta.
The Healthcare minions who held us hostage for the last 3 years under “Health Emergency”, superpowers.
The Teachers - who demanded that kids be masked up and work from home so that they, themselves could be safe…it was never about the kids, the children were never at risk.
And without a doubt, no 2 publicly funded institutions have failed more over these last 3 years than these 2 unions.
People Died.
Our youth were locked down and masked up.
These are the people who are financially buying our government - united - because they continue to get sweetheart deals like, the above mentioned.
Unions are a plague on our society.
You didn’t really need anymore evidence of this…but here it is, anyways.
this is why i've stayed away from unions my entire life. sure, i guess if you work for a giant corporation that would treat you like a disposable cog in a wheel, you need a union to protect you from exploitation. but why would you want to work for that kind of company?
and then the one thing that they exist to do- to protect the labor of their members- they failed to do during covid. they only protected the labor of their vaccinated members and acted as an enforcement arm of government public health policy.
sure, maybe if i had joined one years ago, i'd have a better pension or something but without the "protection" i was forced to take care of myself and get jobs based on my competence and not my union affiliation.
of course these days, competence counts for nothing. you have to be a certain race, a certain weird made up gender and above all, you have to be vaccinated. doesn't matter that you have no skills and can't do the job.
If it were up to me, NO occupation that was receiving remuneration from the public purse would be permitted to organize. NO unions should EVER receive tax dollars.
