I wouldn’t say that 10% vacation 10% pension 100% benefits
...and nothing more.

I wasn't union bashing in that post (although I have in the past). I was just stating that the union is a business in its own right. It exists to make money for itself. It does that by fighting for a group of workers (and charging them to do it). That's not bashing, that's facts. If it was an altruistic endeavour as they like to portray themselves, there wouldn't be nearly as much money flowing into union employee pockets.Funny how people who like to bash unions never remember what it was like when the shoe was on the other foot.
In the past, I 100% agree. As currently implemented, it's an inefficient *&^*&^show. People are much more job mobile than in the past and many of the unions exist solely to screw governments out of their money (ie. our money). Unions have detached the price being paid from the market value of the work and created a bubble that is not sustainable.The only reason we have unions is because companies try to take advantage of their workers. That too is a fact.
For public sector unions, they are a positive for the workers, no doubt. They are a huge negative for the taxpayer as the equivalent jobs in the private sector have grossly different pay. That model is unsustainable over a long term as private sector jobs won't be able to pay enough taxes to support public sector excesses. The government would not be substantially reducing safety tomorrow without unions. They could legitimately crush wages and still attract and maintain competent employees.Not buying it GG. If unions were outlawed today, tomorrow it would be back to the salt mines.
Unions cost the worker extra. People rarely pay for things that have no value.
WOW. I'm not a great trainer because I don't have the patience, but that is not the way to do it..
Watch this pos
Looks like for at least one of them they are selling investment property to pay back the money.... Stolen money = tax free, buy GTHA property, get caught, sell at a huge profit, pay back the money and pocket the profit.... You want the millions back, NP it is worth way more than that now...Not quite law enforcement but close enough.
TL: DR Two firefighters took money from donations meant to help firefighters that had been injured or killed. Prosecution was bungled (delayed and then dropped). They agreed to repay over 4M plus legal fees of 750K. How much did they actually take if they don't mind returning close to 5M?
