TD has screwed me enough times to leave for another bank; Considering everything I had was with Canada Trust, that was no small feat… but a consistent and ongoing problem of:
- Told them I was traveling, please don’t lock the cards; cards locked for fraud protection on day 1 and we cant check into hotel. Spent the night in a bar that accepted the backup cash.
- Inheritance cheque was “Lost” and took 2 years to recover the money. Thank fuck for taking a photo of it on arrival.
- Account hacked- brokerage account. No way anyone could just randomly get into it or have conned us; we check it once a year at best. took almost the entire account in 499 increments until it was dry. Took a year took a year and police investigation to get that money back.
- Ongoing small fees and interest that should not be there trying to get snuck past on statements.
Finally left after almost loosing a hundred grand.
No one who values their money should ever do business with that bank. They cant even do the one thing a bank is there to do.
Conservative provincial policy happened.
Meanwhile the living wage has skyrocketed to…?
No shit, its either you have 3k a month to spend on a basement or you’re living in a tent.
Because the contract they are trying to shove through is nothing but bad for existing employees; and even worse for new ones. Huge cuts to benefits and pay, huge demands on extra working hours, shifts, and rotations; along with forcing any employee to move anywhere at any time with zero notice. All from a company posting record profits.
The workers just want a 7% raise to keep up with inflation. Average salary is 45k unless super senior.
Binding arbitration means at-least some of these horrendous measures would be forced.
Strike is the only option and from what I’ve been hearing, management is just going to try to use the strike against them.
The problem is management isnt willing to negotiate. Everything here is done in bad faith and they plan to use politics to force their way. All workers want is a cost of living wage; while CNR wants to cut EVERYTHING significantly. All from a company posting record profits.
More like fuckin pissed. 2 degrees, professional job. “Established.” … and renovicition means im living at home again in my 30’s. Either something gives or uprisings will start.
