Unemployment is related to our current immigration system. Immigration intake is outpacing job growth. Immigration intake also outpacing home, combined with higher interest rates, are driving rent up too. Carbon tax is a major factor in the increased cost of living. Cost of harvesting / processing / manufacturing / shipping / heating etc...all goes up. In the end, the increased costs are all downloaded to the consumer.
That’s absolutely not true. If you look at the big sectors in the big businesses, you’re not gonna find anybody there on minimum wage. And that doesn’t matter where the unionized or not unionized… some companies actually do voluntary recognition with unions… The question is, do you know why? Because they get to negotiate with the union directly, and the workers don’t have a choice. Unions aren’t they answer
You don't have to be an expert to understand that unions in every profession will be going on strike as they will be looking for substantial wage increases to make up for the lost purchasing power of their income due to the runaway inflation which caused prices to increase substantially in the past 3 years.
I don’t think people will fault unions for standing up for working people however the railworkers being told by the federal government not to strike means it could happen to other unions
We lost 1/3 or more of our income to inflation, mortgages doubled the last few years on top of it, and now we pay up to 5% more interest on them to boot. Obviously these workers are negotiating for the kind of living standard they used to have. I would be doing the same thing if I wasn't in a high competition industry with little to no bargaining power. I should be making almost 6 figures if I want the same quality of life I had pre-lockdown. That's leaving out any sort of career progression in that time as well.
I don’t think people understand how neoliberalism economics and trade deals actually works. Striking does nothing except move your job where labour is cheaper. Those striking workers will eventually be replaced.
Unions are fundamentally socialist entities… they are recognizing the rising popularity of conservatives, and the demise of liberal and socialist concepts. They are striking for political ideology, none of these things are for money… They talk about safety, and job security and whatever… it’s not like these groups are suffering financially. It’s an opportunity for the union, to make political stance.
I imagine some of this true, but with the dramatic loss of purchasing power in Canada I can imagine many of these workers have seen their bills outpace their living standard. I've cut back my expenses and am still somehow left with less free cash at the end of the month than I had pre-lockdown.
@@agodelianshock9422 As soon as you start shifting into a socialist ideal, it always ends up like this. You start taxing more and more, and you start restricting the ability for businesses to hire and pay good wages. Unionization is not the answer. Most unionization is because of job conditions more than wages. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting $50 an hour, if a cup of coffee is $12…. The devil is in the details
People can't afford to keep up with costs, and in addition some people can't even find jobs...is this surprising?

Big business hates workers having rights.

@@Ont785 sure. they love paying their ceos a lot.
people strike because they don't want to cancel disney+ subscriptions
Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? You are free to think that way if you want.
Where did you buy your rock?
@thisisnotpublic6569 the person isn't serious they are making fun of the liberals who made that suggestion

Trudeau: “Canadians are better off with the carbon rebate”
record breaking profits at each quarter, and record breaking poverty levels. WOW, I CANT SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD STRIKE? why would they do that?
We have a weak government under the Wacko, Trudie 😂😂😂

According to Little Potato it's...... Pierre Poilievre fault?

There is no proof of this claim
if everyone strikes it solves nothing. its just people complaining. no one wants to fix the real issue.
