B.C.'s Nisga'a becomes only First Nation to privatize land

I don't support any union. Never had unions on any of my construction sites and would prefer not to have any in the patch. I think unions have outlived their actual usefulness and are no more than organized crime these days.

Unions are taking over training of tradesmen thus offloading the burden from the taxpayer at no extra expense to the trainee.
No Unions in patch? Are f*cking serious? You aren't blind are you?

Now why would unions want to do that? Gee i wonder if it is their natural goodness? :roll:

you said unions have outlived their usefulness not so. When the next economic
downturn comes and its coming to a corner of the world near you soon, unions
will regain their strength because the recession will last for more than a decade.
I have been both a union leader and a general manager of in the private sector.
Even as a manager I preferred a union it brings balance.
As a farmer I now work mostly alone and its dull with no one to argue with.
As for the current issue at hand, the Native Peoples are looking at this from one
aspect the white folks can't wait to attempt to seduce the Natives with the greed
affliction and I think that just might not happen.

That will depend entirely on labour laws. Currently if there was a downturn the unions would feel the brunt of it because they have to compete with workers that are willing to take a bit less just to have a job while union leadership stand on their lofty principle of never going backwards.
