Tony Clement wants to eliminate bankable sick days for public servants

[captain morgan]

I had not thought about it this way. Sometimes one can not see all the sides and nuances.

Everyone strives to get the most for the least... That sentiment applies equally to employers & employees, public & private sector.

Bringing in any form of 'class warfare' into this issue is nothing more than a deliberate distraction from the core issue

A sense of entitlement is written into our contracts and you can come and take it from my cold, dead, tax-funded manicure hands.

We can arrainge that.

You're gonna need to fill out Form 343-12.1, in triplicate, which is an application to apply for a meeting with the deputy administrative assistant to the parliamentary secretary's secondary auxiliary at large (interim). Once your application is processed during the minimum 6 - 8 months (+/- 3 months) waiting period (no less than 25 months) and the benefits small council local 23981 has approved your crowbar as a WCB-approved standard leveraging device, you may then apply to pry my benefits from my cold dead hands.

We got nonunion contractors that work on oiece work. They are not predisposed to waiting for pencil pushers. They largely prefer the tried and true kill them all and let gawd sort them out method.
Never had a complaint yet.

Someone has already offered-up a crow bar

The guys that I would have thought might act as 'consultants' on a job like this are the kind of guys that don't do much readin' or writin' (in triplicate no less).

Probably be a pretty short conversation

Yikes, OK... I wish the Conservative government is thrown out of office in 2015. Careful what you wish for! Hey Justin! My favourite virtue is bankable sick days!

lol....that's quite the virtue...I am into energy flow....every thought counts...just saying, don't be talking about your cold dead hands...

Bankable sick days was an attempt by government to encourage employees not to book off sick using the carrot of what-if-you're-horribly-sick-in-the-future argument. Eliminating bankable sick days will not reduce sick leave but will make the system more sympathetic to employee illness.

agreed...when sick, people need to be protected...I don't have a problem with that...but paid out at the end...yeah I have a problem with that

Yes... Old Uncle Louis... He did love, ever so much, his old Cadillac.

Yep, old Uncle Louis (de Ville)...

Ummm. The gvt didn't 'offer' bankable sick days.. The Union demanded that concession as an incentive to the membership... I'm guessing that there was some kinda crazy outbreaks of the flu, a strain that only infected the public sector, unionized employees.

Just goes to show that even viruses can be persnickety little buggers

 

[Spade]

Nonsense, the "bankable" aspect was used by unions to sell paid sick leave to employers.

 

[petros]

Med LOA gets you pogey.

Are you saying that the employer had special viruses engineered to attack only unionized employees?

Damned Harper!

I hadn't even realized that was what was going on "class warfare" until now. Excuse me while I shuffle my thoughts and opinions and re-arrange some old thinking...

Oh this is not a case of class warfare. It is an expose concerning the mean attitude the present incarnation of Conservatives use in order to pander to their party faithful .

The present state of corporate management has basically risen to a state of demagoguery.

There was a time in Canada when work was something one did to live. One never hears fukcing the dog anymore , and the working culture is one of subservient masses of people with the fear of hounds at the heels.

Nothing fun like the heady days of employment in the 50's and 70's exists today. Pressure abounds at every level and is totally accepted as normal. It's a sacrilege best described as the way of the future. it will get worse for the workers ,labor movements and working poor.

Upper management is a lesson in modern day warfare played out on the rungs of the corporate ladder.

The only real distraction in this thread , is the need to ignore the mean spirited presence of the present incarnation of the Conservative Party member.

That's almost poetic in it's presentation.

... Sadly, it remains as bullsh*t

I love that sentiment the best... Expecting personal responsibility = Mean Conservative

Long gone are the days when you worked your whole life for a company who treated you like family. My dad's father and his brothers all worked for companies their whole lives that paid a truely living wage. At retirement on a full pension, they bought the house they'd been living in for $1.00 from the company. The harder you worked the better your life. Not so anymore.

Now employees are not viewed as an asset, they are disposable.
