Where is the ghost of Ronald Reagan?
He’s in the empty hospitals across canada, looking at all the empty beds, empty wards and wondering how the hell people are so stupid as to let this happen.
Isn’t centralised, hip to hip joined big union, admin, government hack monopoly great?
Oh, patients.
Crying public scum patients. SooOOoo annoying to…..the professionals. Skilled, trained, team of government, unions, administration. All heroically leading Canadian People’s shining path, new dawn, avanti, future.
And anyways, what are you going to do about it?
So suck it up Buttercups. You’ll get what you get, or not, good and hard.
(Editing this, I was mistaken on the last election thinking that the PC won in 2019 defeating the NDP… oops)
The PC have not been able to come to an agreement with the nurses union for over 4 years. Sounds like both sides need a bit of a cuff.
Anything that can be done to reveal our health care system for what it is would be great, a strike now that lasts for months is a good start, voters need to literally suffer for their poor decisions or they won’t learn.
Not much of a pandemic if the nurses can strike.
You haven’t heard? The pandemic is mostly bullshite.
I have known that since day one and am on record saying so.
She has this “I’m gonna make you pay” look on her face.
There’s nothing like union extortion during an “emergency”, is there?
Speaking of extortion … the current trend among ALL Unions threatening to STRIKE is to claim there is a “shortage” of UNION workers. The Nurses are “overworked” because the UNION needs 25% MORE membership for future extortions. Nevermind that technology actually REDUCES the need for more workers … the Nurses are “overworked” and need MORE Nurses caring for FEWER patients. It’s the same story for every other UNION … esp. government worker UNIONS (which should be illegal).
So how many cases of Wuhan flu are Manitoba nurses responsible for because they wouldn’t wash their hands?
How many preventable deaths?
Let’s have a full accounting before anybody decides they deserve a payday.
Work-life balance is a luxury only women with rich husbands can afford. Nobody in the real world has time for that steaming pile.
What percentage of Nurses work only part time because that’s all they have to?
And – if they “have” to work overtime past their contracted hours, get time-and-a-half even though they’re nowhere near 40 hours a week.
We’re all in this together and support our healthcare heroes. Guess what nutbags? White Boy summer started on Friday at least in BC anyway. Yesterday was two social gatherings and today three. It’s over.
WeII, going on strike during a “pandemic” is the sensibIe strategy for unions……that is why they aIways wait untiI for the moment where you wiII feeI the most pain. That is what bIackmaiI is aII about.
There is a reason teachers wait untiI the middIe of the schooI year to go on strike. That is why you never see teachers threatening to go on strike in the Iast week of June.
One has to wonder, why does, “It’s for the kids!” aIways reIy upon me giving more money to teachers? (or nurses)
I have posted this before, but it bears repeating. If a union goes on strike too often, that means their work is “on the way out”. Happened in the late 1950’s with the plasterer’s union (invention of drywall); in the 1960’s with the longshoremen (container shipping and cranes are now used) and the milkmen (people buy their dairy products in the supermarket now) and with Canada Post (their strike in 2013, made me receive my utility bills on-line and pay on-line and then again, when they “threatened” to go on strike in early 2016, the company I worked for started paying their bills – received on-line – by money transfers into the suppliers’ bank accounts). Nursing can be replaced by machines. Human nurses (I do not call them a profession) are on their way out.
Ridiculous….
All the good will and admiration for their profession built up in the last year gone in a flash.
Whenever a Conservative government is in power (even if conservative in name only) the public unions are in a state of perpetual outrage and cannot possibly come to a contract agreement.
It’s what they do.
How many nurses received full pay, but did not work, when hospitals were closed except for China virus patients?
Yet another reason to end the government monpoly.
No Robert lets END the UNION Monopoly. Anything to do with government, public health, education or safety should not be unionized period. This way we could demand and get world class services from these entities… Steve O
“This way we could demand and get world class services from these entities… Steve O”
Which part of the “Turd World”?
Duh.
Retroactive Danger pay.
“Forward”!
This is just the beginning.
For our “helpers” truly believe they have performed “Above and beyond” shepherding us through the “Worst Healthcare Crisis in history”.
And if you do not agree?
Why you are an anti-Vaccing Bigot,Racist and Granny Killing Denier.
For we forget the obvious,even when it stares us in the eye..
By the standards of our “Civil Service” their handling of The Dread Covid Pandemic,has been awesome.
For us ignorant fools who had believed in individual rights, freedoms and equality before law…we are just “Too Uneducated” to appreciate their magnificence.
If any union goes on strike, all the people in and employed by the union (workers, fatcat union bosses & lowly peons as well) ought to go on “strike pay” as well until it’s settled, if ever.
Let them strike…let the chips fall where they may.
Having my mother and sister as nurses I saw the work load and pressure of the profession as they had to learn to work with complex electronics for their patients. 12 hour shifts are the norm. I believe to become an RN you have to have a BSc degree as my sister does.
Governments should have a fixed budget for public employee wages and the more valuable person to our society, ie nurses vs teachers and bureaucrats get more money. Notice who worked throughout the pandemic and who bitched and moaned as they stayed home month after month.
What is starting hourly wage for RN in Ontario? Generally speaking, rates of RN pay are based on a years of service scales, and start at $21.75 per hour reaching as high as $40 per hour. In acute care, new graduates are paid $30.17 hourly for annual salary of $58,831.50.
Sep. 1, 2020 — The average Ontario high school teacher (@osstf) earns $103,926/year (salary + benefits), the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has learned.
The 2020 full-time average hourly wage rate for professional occupations in education services, which includes includes elementary school and kindergarten teachers, is $40.97. The 2020 corresponding median weekly wage rate is $1,538, giving an approximate full-time annual salary for this employment group of $80,000.
They do make good money, I do not begrudge them for that. But I have wondered what is the point of striking for a 1.5 percent pay increase (for sake of argument) when any gains get eaten up in taxes. In Manitoba they’re in the highest tax bracket.
If any government employee bitches and complain about not getting a pay raise, they should ask the server, while getting their morning coffee on their way to work at the local drive thru, if they wouldn’t mind paying more taxes so they can get a pay raise.
Oh yeah…climate change…just because.
The first problem is the union. Always has been, always will be. Here is the union, issuing statements like they have some kind of elected authority; anyone here voted for anyone in this union leadership?
If the union wants to be political, let them be political. Just disenfranchise all union members, and let them spend as much money as they want on political ads and bankrolling the NDP. Or, let union members continue to vote, but any political involvement means summary execution for all union management and staff, then the members can pick new union management and staff and try again.
Th second problem, is that the government runs healthcare. The only ways to control costs, are rationing care, and wage controls. You want more nurses; taxes go up, doctor/janitorial/administrative salaries go down, or they ration harder (the wait lists get longer).
You want better healthcare in Canada? Do your duty, and die quickly without wasting any valuable resources that are needed “for the common good”.
I count 4.5 million union jobs in Canada with 3.7 million of those being public service jobs.
Does anyone know the real numbers?
No more unionized government jobs is a great place to start the Reset.
A Huge Reset that brings better, smaller, less intrusive government in every respect.
A Conservative Reset that actually works as opposed to the usual Harper-like Liberal Lite government we usually get that changes or fixes nothing.
If only the Conservative Party could find an actual Conservative Conservative leader.
A former dentist of mine started out as a nurse. She decided that she’d rather fix teeth when she saw how her nursing colleagues behaved towards each other. No mention of whether union politics had anything to do with it.
Sorry, no can do. Essential staff. Too bad so sad. Later when we run out of your money, you’ll still be essential, just paid less.
Welcome to the collective. We appreciate for your sacrifice. Hopefully, you’ll survive. We’ll see.
Fortunately for you, the apparatchiks’ deliberations are unhindered by depravity.
Yeah Sham, If there is such a Covid “Emergency”, would there not be a mandate issued by our dear leaders that consider Nurses and nursing to be an “Essential service” and therefore not allow them to strike? Personally, I would also consider the Canada post, and the teaching of our children, to be essential services as well, but that’s just me.
Government, not so much!
Post script,
That would be teachers “teaching” not indoctrinating!
Can’t we just hire professional dancers to replace them at a much lower cost?
