Bill 9 seeks delay in wage talk for teachers, nurses, government workers until Oct. 31

I dunno in a certain sense what goes around comes around. Why should the rest of us be subject to wage rollbacks in the private sector along with programs subsidised to the companies we work for that actually have money no matter how much they bitch they don't by the government with foreign worker programs and employment insurance for only certain positions companies abuse while they just don't get an increase and keep their wage in the public sector? Where's the fairness? That's our money. Did my taxes go down? Fuck no they introduced a carbon tax and property taxes increased like they do every year.

I lost 5% of my wage and 9% of my pension for 2-1/2 years. That's a lot of fucking money and I'm not working out in the patch making insane money. I'm in a steel supply company which is mostly used by the patch. Roll that into one full year let's say I lost 35% worth one years wages Over the course of 2.5 years which is fucked and since I do sales we're what is considered detrimental to the companies recovery so we're not covered under employment insurance portion of the work sharing agreement because we have to always be there with less pay and less pension says the government. We just got the cold hard shaft until the company seen fit to give us our money back on their own accord. But hey, guess I should just be happy I had a job? Nah man you don't work for a company to make their lives better. You do it for you and your family to make your lives better.
