    There MUST be a solution soon, because this strike is harming ALL Canadians. But the reporting in this article is misleading. There is no “bullying” happening.

      I’m willing to take a small amount of harm if it means better working conditions for people I rely on.

        I’m willing to do the same. And the port workers also need more effective negotiators willing to do the work.

        • How? Find a middle ground on the number of jobs to cut to non-union workers per year?

          The top four companies represent posted profits of $100, $25, $20, and $15 billion dollars. That’s a third of Canada’s expenditures.

            I am not a professional negotiator, but there MUST be a solution found without calling in the government.

              Maybe the companies needs to take it on the chin this time. Maybe they could use better negotiators.

                I agree. But billionaire companies are greedy and looking to gain 2 wins here.

                    I’m absolutely NOT on the side of billionaires.

          Hey one question: What does boot polish taste like?

            I was infantry. I suspect you don’t know how we spit-polish a boot. There’s a slight variation in taste depending on brand and mixture.

            Did you intend to out yourself as tough-guy con chicken-hawk with that weak jab?
