But now we digress. So you'd rather be rich in blood money than be rich in principles?

Give up my worker solidarity principles, screw my neighbour and have money? Which did Jesus say was the ticket to heaven again?... the Kingdom of Heaven.

screwing your neighbour to have money applies just as well to some of the bull**** I've seen unions pull. The men who own and operate those mines are 'your neighbours' too don't forget. Tanking a business because you don't feel you've taken a big enough bite of their profits, screws you, your neighbour, your fellow union guy, AND the neighbour who you were striking against. All in the name of coin. Union leaders are every bit as evil and willing to screw their fellow man as the company man is.
There is no such thing as a good union...the only good union is 2020
'Scabs' gotta eat to, If you don't like it, too bad...I wouldn't want to work with a scab.
Why did production drop if cheap scabs are doing the work?
Why not Canada? Because Canada is rapidly turning fascist. Germany can't go back down that road until a lot of wounds heal.
The police are required to be neutral. They don't take any side other than the law's. Threatening harm to another is illegal.
Your family member never realized he would be called a scab for being a scab? That wasn't well thought out was it?
If mining is the good life why do miners die young? Is there a job more dangerous?
Miners should make double what they do now.
If you are against someone being paid fairly and want heads cracked then you are a fascist or a sociopath.
A sociopath can be cured with medication and cognative skills training but the only cure for fascism is 2.09 grams of lead @ 1320 meters per second.
When the miners get a raise the entire town gets a raise. Vale is sitting on the finest ore in the world, at current it pays for them to not be in full operation because the market is flooded with cheap pig nickle. Sudbury would have been hit with lay-offs anyway and those still working still wouldn't have settled on a new contract.Miners already make $70000 plus a year plus benefits. How much more do you think they are worth.

If anyone has something to bitch about it is the pig nickle that is complete crap that is ending up in the products we buy from foreign market that use this crap.
If the profits of Canadian business stayed in Canada none of us would be buying crappy imported poisonous retail goods.
Is that the fault of the miners or the unions?
An often-heard response around Sudbury would be: as long as the 6500 gang get ATVs and new pick-up trucks? Yes. When the miners get a raise, prices go up - FOR EVERYBODY - just like the company store. They can afford it. Minimum-wage earners, pensioners and anyone down on their luck can't.... or the company packs up an leaves.A low income family may have no choice but to buy cheaper imported products. So you'll deny them that opportunity and bankrupt them?
What do they do during lay offs and shut downs? Lower prices?When the miners get a raise, prices go up - FOR EVERYBODY - just like the company store. They can afford it. Minimum-wage earners, pensioners and anyone down on their luck can't.
And Johnny does ahve a point about the alcohol. I'd like to see statistics on teetotaler miner death rates compared to drinking minor death rates, and then compare those to teetotalers among the rest of the population and drinkers among the rest of the population to be fair.
You can blame your work environment for certain medical ailments indeed, in which case the solution is not higher income but more safety gear to protect against those elements in the first place. If the only interest is raising wages, then clearly they're not serious about their health.
But you certainly cannot blame the environment for the worker's drinking, unless of course the employer tolerates alcohol consumption on the job?

Heavy metal isn't just old men screaming on stage, it's old men screaming in pain and wives screaming in anguish.It occurs to me that illnesses associated with the working environment in mines is wholly different than the illnesses associated with chronic alcoholism.
Just sayin.....
Mineral markets not going down? Be glad you don't live in an aluminum mining town right now. Ask someone from Iceland what they think of investing their future in aluminum.What planet do you live on? Is there a raise involved? How often do prices EVER go down?
I understand greed and militant behaviour and that's what is happening in Sudbury. 6500 whined because Vale settled in Brazil without concessions. Would they work for a Brazillian workers' rate of pay?Heavy metal isn't just old men screaming on stage, it's old men screaming in pain and wives screaming in anguish.

If you don't understand global markets then you'll never understand what is happening in Sudbury.
Maybe they should go build refineries AB and SK or mine in YT NWT NT and make $120,000?Miners already make $70000 plus a year plus benefits. How much more do you think they are worth.

$70,000 is a lot of money? Geeeees. Where th hell have you been?
What is their risk of being tossed by a firehose into the bottom bead of a truck bed?What is your radiation exposure and heavy metal risk with the province versus mining?
Ever seen what happens to a jumbo operator after a collapse?What is their risk of being tossed by a firehose into the bottom bead of a truck bed?
