Guess it's time to strike harder. These rights were not gained by listening nicely to government.

This is super depressing. I did not expect a lot from Carney but I hoped he won't be as bad on labour since that contradicts his growth plans. Without strong labour the benefits won't trickle down and we'd find ourselves in another confidence crisis as prices won't stop rising. PP will appear vindicated and he'll campaign on "I told you the banker is a fake"

How the fuck is he a liberal? Who nominated him? How have dozens of former liberals not crossed the floor to the NDP? He is worse than Harper. Beyond PP’s dreams! Fucking alarming.

Fucking working class traitor.
We elected him to fight against the U.S. economic attacks and because he promised to help the struggling middle class, make Canada build social housing again, etc.
Now he's essentially eroding our rights to have any dignity. Healthcare, education, infrastructure, access to affordable housing, access to afordable food, working conditions, all are threatened under Carney, to favor the rich elites who are running the fucking show in this country.
Not to mention how he's essentially enabling the U.S. and their economic attacks on our economy, their phony trade deals, and their involvement in genocide with Israel.
Fucking shameful.
I can't believe we have to wait 4 years before getting rid of this asshole. There should be a vote of confidence every year to trigger new elections if the people are unhappy. Along with proportional voting.
I'm so sick of this shit.

Did everyone forget that the Bank of Canada announced 'Canadians must accept a lower standard of living'? or the fact their 'sovereign wealth fund' idea is literally tax payer funded via debt? or their plan to 'attract' 1 trillion in investment (read as 'private equity coming in and reaping Canadian resources while we give them very favourable terms'). Gee, I wonder why they want to union bust.
This government has forgotten what a general strike is. On the other hand, unions today are so pathetically weak that they can't even stand up for each other.

Banker going to be a fucking banker.
What a fucking chode.
If we can't strike then we start lynching.

replies:
The only question for classifying a job as "essential" is if someone will/might die if it's not performed.
If it only concerns profit... It's not essential.
replies:
This is the article it talks about.
adjusted timelines for collective bargaining;
strengthening training supports for workers impacted by artificial intelligence and automation;
updating workplace health and safety protections; and
strengthening protections against misclassification and wage theft, and exploring options to ensure union rights carry over when contracts are retendered.
If that all sounds good, ask why would they ever be consulting with employers on this?
replies:
Interesting. If people work in a food production facility and they go on strike then others may starve. This is a case where we'd need to say "Keep working" or get scabs. If people work in a clothing production facility then no one suffers if they can't get a branded wearable product, so strike away. Doubt this'll work though as we are more self-satisfiers than we are group-satisfiers. Oh, and greed, money, capitalism (never forget the real cause).
