It was all settled, now get back to work.
😂😂what medication are you taking
@DJ Well Dressed Man it was settled According to the news. Just get back to work
@Jennifer Clarke just get back to work.
@Scott Wilson lol according to no need it was settled. Again research before you open your mouth and get laughed at.
@DJ Well Dressed Man Welcome to CUPE, the gigantic sack of hypocrites.
Citizens get, what citizens vote for, enjoy!
CUPE, a gigantic sack of hypocrites.
If your workers are the lowest paid that’s on The union for neglecting these workers for so long. All resources, including these members union dues , went to fight for the pot of gold all teachers enjoy today. The question is why did the union allow these workers to be paid so poorly for so long? It’s not like CUPE hates to strike to get what they want.
@flo mo ” LIVING WAGES”
Now provide an exact definition of that term, the complete criteria by which it will be calculated, and how it will be paid for.
But you won’t do that, all you know how to do is shout the latest buzzword.
@flo mo Well, they’re almost there statistically and that’s for part time work let alone govt benefits. Add 10% for 40 k and subtract 1/3 for summers off. Maybe we taxpayers should get a refund?
Is the Teacher’s Federation of Ontario the same as CUPE? IF so, from what I’ve read the former is somewhat rich in assets!
@canukmrsben Apparently their pension was into CRYPTO. LOLZ.
@Primmakin Sofis Being able to afford groceries, rent, hydro, credit cards, paying off debt, being able to afford clothes, etc.
Where I live 2k for rent is cheap. I don’t live near a city, that’s just how much it is.
Caretakers work all year around we were the ones cleaning these covid room as kids were getting sick in our school. I want to know how much of a raise they gave themselves. If ford stop eating we should have no problem getting the money we are asking for.
Oh no! The COVID! AHHHHHHH!
Two years in, and you’re still buying into the COVID bogeyman?
If you home school you could teach what isn’t taught in school male and female not the same
@roof pizza Who made you before your in your One Mothers womb?
@roof pizza As opposed to large buildings that resemble prisons?
@William Terry Masters Who Made Who was a killer AC/DC album.
@roof pizza ac dc sucks
I love AC/DC and all kinds of music I can listen to what I One want too
If you don’t want to be told not to wear a mask why tell others to wear it
Imagine 50k a year for a semi skilled, (even unskilled) part time worker with killer govt benefits and pensions. I see a stumbling block don’t you?
Who are you talking about? Ford takes in a lot more than that. Check your numbers
@HourglassTarot HUH wot? lolz.
Its 39k a year, which isnt a livable wage.
@L_ghtBulb how about 39k for 10 months? Is that enough. I could live on that easily because I need too why not you?
@E Kingston Where I live rent is 2k a month (and thats on the cheaper side), that already takes up 24k out of that 39.
Food costs up to 400 dollars a month
Thats 4.8k.
Hydro and other bills differ person to person but
This is not enough to live off of in the slightest.
The govt should do nothing and let them sit out there for a month or two on strike.
Help curve that new wave too
That was tried prior to Covid and it didn’t work then. That being said; maybe if lucky some of Trudeau’s new immigrants he is planning to bring into Canada can fill their jobs as surely some will be teachers etc. Ya think?
but then who would babysit your kid ? cause that’s what parents will be most upset about , who is going to look after my kid while I am work ?
@The Gump Files won’t be a lot of parental support for them after a month on strike.
Indoctrinators
Surplus belongs to the tax payers. It means they were over taxed by the government not that they somehow generated funds through hard work
So CUPE doesn’t want to work after all. Time to fire and hire.
They do, they want a livable wage though. If you cant pay workers a livable wage you shouldn’t be a boss.
I find it ridiculous when you hear stories about one EA having to look after one child in a classroom because the child misbehaves and is violent. When I was in school we didn’t have EAs and if a kid misbehaved in class the teacher would simply cancel gym class for everyone. Guess what happened to the kid at recess.
I agree.
But it’s not cupe. Talk to the government about the education act. “Every child has a right to an education”
Even those… Who spit, bite, and are aggressive. At the cost of well behaved students.
Im glad its not like that anymore.
Kids who need help should get it.
@L_ghtBulb but they don’t
@E Kingston They dont because Ea’s are understaffed and underpaid.
Why are you bringing health care into a discussion about Cupe workers. This is the problem
You don’t dress like a person in poverty
