VOICES OF UNION - VOICES OF YOUNG WORKERS

A compelling short documentary about the importance of unions to young workers. This video shows not only why young workers want to be unionized, but also the challenges of involving young workers in the labour movement and how they can become the new leadership incorporating their hopes and concerns.

Lots of ignorance from the anti-unionists - literally. No education, no information, no interest in finding out the facts. Eyes closed, ears blocked, minds empty, living in a bubble.

That makes it the same old trick they always pull; it’s equivalent to taking all of the food from a family’s house, and then saying, “Fine, if you’re going to whine this much, here- you can have a package of hotdogs back so it doesn’t feel like a total loss to you.” Well I say, FORGET IT! Keep stirring us up, right-wingers. We may not be natural war mongers like you, but our spirit is ten times stronger!!!

Now they're going to throw a little scrap to the protesters and allow them to negotiate their wages ONLY. Wow, thanks. Stand still for 1 second and they push you bad 3 steps. Union members are supposed to be so relieved that they're getting SOMETHING, they're expected to just take what they can get and deal with it. WELL I SAY NO LONGER!!! This is another right wing organized attack against the middle class- AGAIN! They started the fire- let them get burned for a change! WE THE PEOPLE!!!

Saskatchewan is moving away from this socialist communist union additude. All the unions want is more for less.

IATSE 891 Vancouver Film Union ...non senority : first in line last to get served.

5000 Workers have been dealt a nasty blow , no senority Allows for discrimination.

LESBIANS Hire Lesbians ...family hires family ....Film Technicians have gone to school trained and got experience for nothing...10 years later

CANADAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOVERMENT DOES NOT HELP.

IATSE 891 UNION ? PEONAGE ! Only in CANADA IATSE 891 senior union members have to borrow $80.00 to pay there UNION dues.

God help us all if we didn't have unions. Sure, sometimes they go to far, but anyone who doesn't understand why we need them should study the history of the Victorian era and read some Dickens who describes what it was like in his time when there were no unions.

wow it sounds terrific, I can't believe all the things the unions can provide. I'm still trying to figure out how public employee unions bankrupted the whole country of Greece, and soon to come the rest of Europe and America, but until then this video is pretty cool....

.... Um according to polls, most people DON'T want to be unionized. I rather work hard and get more money and promotions. I Don't want some FATASS doing less work and making the same as I do. Survival of the fittest.

Keep up the good work! Without Unions we will be DONE!

Really well done, imo. We really need new blood in the executives of unions.  Some of the old guys are great, & some of them have become too interested in their own power & influence.
