I must say, it has been so so nice and peaceful in the northern parts of East Van recently because of this. Nonetheless, I hope the port workers get what they want.
I really just don’t get the logic behind not giving them what they want. Fun fact: the demands the union has is less than $5.5 billion
Here’s what I don’t understand… Why can’t workers get more of the profits they help generate?
It’s not the workers who are jeopardizing the economy, it’s management who won’t consider giving workers a fair increase so they can have a decent (not opulent, not luxurious) standard of living.
With inflation at the levels it’s been at lately and raises, even got union workers, barely keeping up, they should just give the workers what they’re asking for if they’re so worried about the precious economy.
Union doesn’t want automation while the port does. Automation makes other ports much more efficient than ours.
Well, they are welcome to fire everyone and automate it all/hire new staff for the remaining position. But I think that’s not so easy, otherwise they would have already done it.
