It's time to learn a little about what we do and don't get as a unionized member and what we pay for.

"Bark like a dog bitch because big daddy is here to spank your ass".

I took that quote from your ex.

And what the fawk is this wah wah wah about Chrysler Oscar?  Your line.........Thanks to the manufacturers for soaking every single dollar they could from Canadians by selling us high priced Canadian cars for years and denying warranty coverage on US purchased vehicles brought into Canada.  Is so much crap where do I start.  Don't get me wrong, I don't like Chrysler much, but who forced us to buy their cars?  We made the decision to buy Chrysler and we paid for it.  If you had a good job outside of NB(apparently) you would have had COLA and kept up with the Jones' for pay increases like every other normal person, unionized or not, outside of NB(apparently).

So welcome to the real world ladies.

Gentlemen of this site, be warned when westling with me.  These two, are now my bitches.

No fawkin smiley faces FU2...

#1 Cost of Living Adjustments, got them every 4 years tied to Inflation or better. The mining industry is great, when times are tough, gold is good. When times are good, nickel and copper are good. We win either way. A lot of the layoffs you hear at mines are going from Nickel, but are being hired at gold mines nowadays. So you know, keeping up with the "Jones" is not difficult for most people.
#2 Wah Wah Wah? I don't get it but whatever. Add a little more substance next time.
#3 As for buying Chrysler. They are a dead duck in the water anyways.

You know those magnets that the unions are putting out saying "Out of a job yet? Keep buying Foreign", I'm going to make one called "Out of a job yet? Keep believing in the CAW." When the companies go broke / pull out, what do you think the attitude will be from the company non-union employees, suppliers, contractors, supporting businesses, customers, shareholders, etc towards the CAW and its members for not taking an appropriate bite in the s*** pie that everyone has to take in this economic turmoil? I'd really hate to be a CAW member right now.

And Kev, sorry about calling Oshawa a crap town. It's a pretty nice place, but you do know that when the truck plant was to close, the media and union members did say quite a bit that the city would turn into a "ghost town". I'm quoting them, although not in the nicest fashion. I meant no disrespect, especially to you. If you take offence, get that ban stick out.

Oh and I forgot to mention, in following up with Kev on defending North Bay. We were voted one of the top 10 safest communities in the north in MacLeans, a very diversified and growing economic base in resources, manufacturing, and service industries, and a good all year round tourism spot. As for "implying I have some intelligence," I don't know how to interpret that from you unless that was a personal blow.
