This guy is a typical bootlicker who clearly has no respect for janitors or people that he views as beneath him (minorities, LGBTQ, the disabled etc) and it clearly shows with his simping for Doug Ford

It definitely would. Buddy’s probably going to blame Trudeau next for allowing refugees into the country.
Some members here are really race obsessed.
I was only pointing out that there are more problems in our schools than just education workers/teachers demanding more money. Of course, one of the problems is students shooting other students.

The union doesn't seem to know but I think they actually do know, we can't spend all our money on them. This Laura Walton person keeps saying shit like we have the money to cut the gas tax, she thinks we should give all that money to them. Some of us buy gas and we deserve a gas tax cut. Why should the education worker/teachers get all the money?
there are many stakeholders here,' parents, taxpayers, government and the unions
of course there are the students
parents , taxpayers & government all have the interests of students as top of mind, while also recognizing all parties are stakeholders, some even recognize government financial stability for the critical contstraint that is
The unions however are unique as they act in the interest of only one stakeholder ....themselves
This dynamic is unsustainable as the public sector unions will drive the province into insolvency and that will hurt every single person in the province
Ford spent gave up a billion in yearly income when he cancelled the license stickers.
Its his choice, its not what we can or can't afford.
It is never a surprise to see this right-wing spin on any union negotiation between the government and its workers, especially when it comes to the education sector. They never value what these workers do, and it's always "shut up and be thankful we pay you!" Then the next thing they say is, "if you don't like the pay, get a better job!" And then they wonder why we have shortages of workers.
The Ontario government had a budget surplus in the education portfolio. The PCs (and the Liberals before them) froze this unions pay for many years, and offered them meagre increases. The current talks are showing they aren't willing to pay more, despite an era of high inflation, where these workers might struggle to pay rent of feed their families. And, yes, the Union is focused on its members and their wellbeing. That's what ALL unions do. Why is that surprising?
When did the right become capitalist cucks? Where they always like that? Big business is all about grinding workers down, which is why they hate unions.
I spent 30 years in a union. Trust me, the union only thinks of itself.
The province and support workers agreed on wages but union wants more people hired. More union workers = more union dues = bigger pay for union executives.
That's the way it is in private or public sector unions.

The problem is that public sector unions are all or almost all monopolies and not subject to market (i.e. realistic) discipline. (I saw this first hand during the last garbage strike. Only the public sector union was allowed to legally collect garbage. We were not allowed to hire a private contractor.)
I'm not familiar with that issue. I can only speak to what I have seen first hand. In the Niagara Region our garbage, including recycling, is done by a private company not city/regional employees.
Toronto has half private and half public garbagemen.
The reports say that the city run, unionized half runs a bit better and cheaper.
Is public or private garbage collection better in Toronto? It’s a near thing, say city staff
Public vs. private? East vs. west?
Yes, there are some private companies that are under contract to municipalities but they have to follow the municipality's rules.Toronto has half private and half public garbagemen.

I was thinking of private companies hired by private citizens to do the garbage pick-up. We were told that is illegal, at least in Toronto anyway.
I see. If companies like factories, apartment buildings and even school boards can hire private garbage collectors I don't see why you couldn't.
I don't pretend to understand the rules/law. During the last garbage strike the folks on our street wanted to hire a guy with a pickup truck to haul our garbage to the dump. We were warned that only "authorized" people are allowed to pick up garbage.
Like when they made huge cuts to developer fees that otherwise would offset our taxes?
