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.

Think of it like this…Unions in Public Sectors are Mandatory and whether you want to be a member of the Union or Not…you still pay the dues. Meaning…Our taxpayer funds, that pay public sector employees are a Taxation that was never agreed upon by Taxpayers and are being used to sway political opinion.

Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
