    I know your paid for a strike but not at full pay and people are stupid and live paycheck to paycheck.

    In our industry (mining) the government is alot more strict then the union ever is about safety or the government will remove the mining lease and shit the place down (been done to other pits in the area).

    We work a rotating roster that the company sent to the union during EA talks and they said yeah that’s fine without consulting the workforce, and it’s been that way since and trying to get the older guys to change to a better roster is a nightmare.

    Sick leave and vacation time is government mandated.

    You might live in a destopian country with a shitty government but our unions ride the arse of the governments country wide employment mandates and then say they do alot.
