    Cut the fat at the top and give the workers more pay and more benefits … simple as that

    Everyone always points fingers at workers asking for a bit more pay … but no one ever bats an eye when a CEO, or company head walks away with a multimillion dollar package or bonus

    All the worker benefits we all enjoy was due to striking workers … I even have an old family friend who was a longshoreman and merchant marine in the 50s and 60s who worked in the west coast with his brother for many years. Their family freely associated themselves as communists and socialists … back when it was actually a term that one could associate without being labelled a lunatic. He came back to northern Ontario … after his brother was murdered by scab labourers during a strike.
