    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.

              That’s no reason to be on their side though.

                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?
