@@TheCanuckCanadain Unions are not strong, by themselves, detached from other workers. Capitalism is holding on for dear life to enrich the few at the expense of the many. GDP Growth demand via capitalism is unsustainable, to say the least. New system focus and structure is needed. Mass General Strike with rail workers, truckers, retail workers, etc. could help but not until robust mutual aid networks are formed locally to support them. See One Small Town and Anark for platform and ideas.
I wish we had a law that said all companies had to go to binding arbitration if their contract with the employees had been expired for more than three months.
Air head tactics and no resolve from authorities won't solve the train crisis, all parties involved must turn their heads to the Canadian people and fix the huge problem!!
The Indians would have had better results burning the pipe line contract by claiming there are 250 baby graves in the path of the pipe line. It's about money.
Get these dinosaurs out of our Leadership, buddy from NASA looks like he could drop dead at any second... Where do they find these people?! Who is running this shiiiii t show?
The elite billionaire class and their capitalist political supporter puppets like Trudeau, Pierre and that whole lot of anti-union, pro-growth loons. It's 1% trying to profit maximize at the expense of the well-being of the rest of us. Do you want them to get away with it without push back and system change? Then ignore this and go back to sleep. Or see how far the rabbit hole goes.... TZM Official Channel, Revolution Now, Anark, Moneyless Society, World Beyond Capitalism, Degrowth Conference, One Small Town with Michael Tellinger and trusted news Dimitri Lascaris, Caitlin Johnstone and Lee Camp, to name a few.
And how can they justify them doing so? The "climate emergency" they're talking about is not AT ALL as bad as people think, and what environmental harms has the other pipeline caused? It hasn't leaked yet!
Yes the hours are hard but you get good pay for it. You're not the only ones with rough schedules. My issues are with outsourcing and management of rail maintenance.
"Affecting people". As though rail workers aren't people(!) "The economy". As though 'the economy' isn't comprised, largely, of the labour time sold by workers (say, railway workers) to capitalists (employers) at a severe disadvantage to themselves! Apparently the rail worker is but an apparition which stands outside both the realm of labour and economy!
@@joeschlepp [it was their decision to fly boeing. they never heard the saying if it's boeing I ain't going. no lawsuit here.] Right. Astronauts can just take any of the rockets to space, because there are so many choices.
Hurt the country to force companies to give you more money. For jobs that pay much better than the majority of jobs in Canada. Your union and the port workers union are a terrible thing for this country.
I'm with the Teamsters! Unconsciounable that the Feds won't let them strike for safer working conditions, especially since the rail companies (one based in Kansas!) are making a killing and could easily afford to hire more workers to ease up on work load so our train engineers don't fall asleep on the rails, causing crashes of chemical or oil spills - disasters which the Feds(i.e. our tax dollars) would have to pay up to clean up, NOT the greedy companies! Go Teamsters!!
I disagree. When I was young and was deciding career path, everyone knew railway workers made a killing because their work hours and lifestyle demanded it. Now 15yrs later they want to have their cake and eat it too. There are laws in place that say max work shift is 12h. If their job requires them to be on call, so they can't plan their life, so what. That's the job, you knew when you signed up for it. Quit if you don't like it and give it to another youngster.
@@fillmorehillmore8239 Al government does making it easier for the wealthy to exploit the poor and collect high taxes from hard working poor people to go on expensive vacation almost the whole year 👈😾👎🏻👎🏻
Interesting to see Teamsters leader Sean O'Brien with the Canadian picket line after his bold speech supporting Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.
Teamsters president Sean O'Brien delivered a fiery address to close out the first night of the Republican National Convention, castigating big businesses and corporate lobby groups for "waging a war against American workers" - and calling for labor law reform. Why it matters: O'Brien's speech stood out among the partisan lineup because he did not endorse former President Trump, yet the Teamsters leader got the most speaking time of the evening. Did you even watch the speech? He literally called for greater worker protections, labour reform and specifically didn't endorse trump. At several points in his speech the audience greeted his points with silence.
The workers did not go on strike. Railway management shut the trains down. closed up shop in effort to force negotiations in to binding arbitration. Learn the difference between a strike and a lockout and direct your ire at the real perpetrators.
@@maryanndixon4365 i was being sarcastic. I was in the largest union in the world. They have the right to strike. Yes they were locked out. I was trying to make a point
The rail strike is serious. Could get nasty. If the Government would take less of our wages for income tax we would be better off and not need to strike. Healthcare costs are too high. $90 - $100 per hour for travel nurses doing same work as full time nurses. That's where most of the tax money goes.
The Teamsters are striking for SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS! Nothing to do with federal income tax (which is almost at an all time low in Canada, and in the USA)
I know everyone gonna hate this but, can someone explain to me why can't the two astronauts just jump down to earth with parachutes strapped on them. do you think they might miss earth the moment they jump. I remember seeing a guy jumped off air balloon from space or somethin.
