Big Problems With Big Unions

HeartBeat - Episode 15 - Sue Sproule
SHELDON YAKIWCHUK
This was quite the podcast with Sue…regarding her treatment by employer - Air Canada, and the support or lack there of support by her union - Unifor.

She breaks down how she wasn’t the only person victimized by the unions for similar type cases - stating the 467 additional claims under Harassment that she’s aware of, failures of the system, her being surveilled and going on in her battle for the last 6 years, still unresolved.It’s without a doubt that Unions have become a detriment…and the way I see it, if we have unions that are now more becoming political parties than are out to support their members…there needs to be some changes.

Not violence.
Not property damage.

Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.

Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.

Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.

But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.

We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
