Blackout , to Work Reform in 6.5% of Quebec's population is on strike

The govt added an extra .5% per year to the deal. Giving the workers a whole 12.7 over 5 years. That's nothing and they obviously don't want to bargain in earnest.

Isn’t this the normal state of French Canadians though? Don’t get me wrong, I love their attitude.

The judge’s order means Giuliani will have to pay damages for spreading false vote-rigging claims against the pair while he was acting as former U.S. president Donald Trump’s lawyer. Giuliani previously admitted in a court filing that his statements were false and defamatory, but claimed he was protected in making them by the First Amendment.

Giuliani, ostensibly knowledgeable in matters of law, claimed he had First Amendment protection to victimize the election workers with the spreading of inflammatory lies and by defaming them. Let this sink in for a moment, please.

In press conferences and before the Georgia legislature, Giuliani repeatedly pushed debunked claims based on selective video from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena that Freeman and Moss pulled out suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of fraud to try to alter the outcome of the race.

Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system implementation manager, said shortly after those claims emerged that the full surveillance video from the venue indicated those ballot carriers were accounted for earlier in the day.

In summary, they fabricated horrible lies.

Giuliani, Trump, and their fascist associates are all despicable traitors.

SighBapanada , to Work Reform in Metro workers vow to stay off job 'as long as it takes' as strike enters 3rd day

I have a friend who works at the metro warehouse. This guys is working himself to death, gets 2 hours of sleep a night, tells me he feels like a slave. When he mentioned the workers are going on strike, I commented on how that’s a great thing, only to be met with disapproval. He’s anti-union and says that they’re greedy and always want more. I was taken aback how someone like him, who’s working himself to death with a boot constantly on his throat, would be so against the very measures that could improve his working conditions.

He said some workers are forced to go to food banks because they cannot afford to buy groceries.

“We’re not being able to buy the food we want from the grocery stores we work in, right? So why not give us what we need so we can survive paying rent, paying our bills, groceries,” Labatt said.

Wow, practically a terrorist!
