Gee I must have just woke up after sleeping the past 50 years the only reason
anyone recieves anything close to a decent wages hasn't had anything to do
agreed Salary's or contracts but what the uions have faught for over time only
to see now with the greed of these companies these conditions fall. Now are they
going to start on other shift workers.
If rail workers try they can earn a fair wage they must be fair game what about
our miners there again they have been hit hard also. How long before it's our
emergency workers in the goverments sights.
