RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Unions and strike.You sound like a typical union Goon. Vote NDP. Never invested one red cent of your own to foster a business. You depend on someone else to feed your household. The biggest responsibility ever undertaken was to invest in a lunch box. And I expect it will remain your life's story.
At 80 years of age I spent only the first four years employed by someone else, Left home at 15 years old to work in a sawmill, Being a simple employee offered no vision of security or independent financial future. At 19 I purchased my first piece of equipment and never looked back. As for your old age pension remark. I don't need it. One of my sons now runs the company in which I am still partnered in with him. And will be till my demise.
For income I take what ever is desired or required. When I go to our Southern winter home in Phoenix AZ. I draw around $10,000 per month. The year before last I spent 3 months in Switzerland, and neighbouring countries. This coming winter my wife and I are planning a couple of months in the Hawian islands.
So for your info I spent almost my entire life providing jobs for people who we employed. Our company was and still is non union. Non union companies have man for man, far greater productivity than any organized corporation.
You should get off your butt and try doing something on your own. It can be extremely rewarding both mentally and financially. If a person has the smarts enough to handle it.
