  • thats bs if the get unemployment. also being on strike is not losing your job, the voted to go on strike.

  • Hope this bill passes! Workers shouldn't be punished twice.

    Go on strike = because management is reneging on collective agreement

    Shouldn't also be denied EI if they are on strike for long periods of time.

    Some of brothers and sisters at CEP local across Ontario ahve been on strike for 39 months, 29 months, 15 months, 5 months...
