I'm sorry, what? They are underpaid because the government (both Liberal and PC) have refused to pony up. Asking to be paid a fair and living wage for what is an essential service (maybe in name only) is not abusive.
you should be sorry
employers do not owe anyone a standard of living
if you want more compensation go get skills which are in demand and which command more compensation
Sadly, not all positive contributions to the economy can be measured in a rise in GDP or a lowering of the provincial debt
.
in the real world the debt burden of any organization matters -
financial stability is required for sustainability
These people provide a service that you seem to look down on, they work hard, and they are under paid.
if they are underpaid they should be able to seek better compensation in the private sector
job postings are at an all time high
Canadian job vacancies have reached another all-time high | Canada Immigration News (cicnews.com)
a side benefit is they would not have to work for the 'evil' provincial govt
you will avoid this fact at all cost, ............no way you would give up milking the govt
And this bullshit about positive economic value sounds like you don't think factory or construction workers contribute. How fucked up is that thinking? Like seriously, unions are to protect the workers because management would love to never give pay increases or grind down individual workers salary to keep them inline.
lets break this down
"sounds like you dont think....."
do not tell me what I am thinking, you will get it wrong
' How fucked up is that thinking?'
your misrepresentation is pretty fuck up
'you don't think factory or construction workers contribute.'
if factory or construction workers did not create positive economic value the factory owner / construction company owner would not continue to employ them
you cannot run a constant deficit in the real world
And the reality here is that if these people don't get better pay....maybe they listen to you right-wing capitalists who tell them to get a better job. Then where would we be?
with a higher GDP , more skilled workers & less govt debt
Look at places like Florida which did this to teachers....and shockingly, they have a massive shortage of certified and licensed teachers.
Hmm , maybe we can hire those Florida teachers for less than $100,000+ a year & reduce the provincial debt
those poor Florida teachers would suddenly become "scabs" in your little mind
But, I'm sure you're all into something like trickle down economics and genuinely believe that tax cuts for the rich spur job growth
.
an economy does require people to put capital at risk in order to grow
you should take some high school level economic and finance courses to
start upgrading your understanding
You just can't stand the idea that blue collar workers are going to get a few more bucks an hour...
you cannot seem to understand the problem the public sector unions have created
this is unsustainable
the abuse started in 1990 when Bob Rea gave the public sector unions too much power
the result should be obvious even to you
it will end badly & hurt EVERYONE in Ontario
