BURLINGTON, ON
The battle to get an acceptable wage for the education sector support works has been very public.
Not so with people who do not have a union to represent them.
2,200 GO bus drivers walk off the job
We received the following yesterday from Jennifer B, we are withholding her last name. We have not touched the language.
“Your Go transit drivers should get a dose of karma. They went on strike today cause they don’t think they are getting paid enough
“Shame on their strike.T hanks to their greedy behavior, the rest of us won’t be able to get to work.
“Meanwhile the rest of us make $15 an hour which is far less than these guys make.
“The rest of us work 2 part time jobs to make ends meet.
“One of my part time jobs is in Burlington and the other in Niagara Falls. We don’t get regular train service here only buses. So basically due to the strike, I can’t get to work. How are we supposed to pay our bills then eh?”
The unions pulled together and brought about a change for the unionized sector.
It is up to the rest of us to do what has to be done to ensure that everyone can earn livable wage,
That is what the phrase “we are all in this together” or did I misunderstand?
thank you for the information
Well said, nothing will change until we all stand together on the issues that bring more trials in life to those who like Jennifer B have to work two jobs miles apart.
