Hi Bro...your comments are a breath of fresh air and you tell it like it is. The corporate welfare bums are trying to say that unions have served their purpose...no need for them. Many things that were in union contracts for many years were obtained with great sacrifice and often having heads smashed by the goon squads. Now the corporations are trying to nickel and dime those rights out of our contracts. Is there a need for unions nowadays? You bet there is...more than ever! Keep up the great work.

At least you are honest, admitting that Big Bro is what you and your kind support. No freedom is too important to stand in the way of the cradle to grave socialism that has brought this once great country to its knees.

Hi Big Bro,just wanted to let you know how I like that new award.I am a 636 member and a pretty pissed off one at that.Those two guys Peter and Ross are crooked as far as me and others are concerned.Did they really accept gifts from their company while ne
otiating the contract?Isn't that illegal if true?I thought bribing a union official was just as bad as bribing a politician?I am going to check on some legislation and see if any laws have been broke.If I find anything I will email you the info and any li
ks to that info.Good luck in your fight brother and I hope you are getting a lot of support.

Well isn't this a fine mess eh brothers.Peter is teaching,the boys all got coats to keep themselves warm and oh yeah we get a nickel more this time round.Breach of contract or even trust.Should carry a stiff penalty one would think but at kelsey.they have
accept lavish gifts and one could say some are using the contract to better themselves ie such as teaching.These same people wouldn't teach you how to understand and use your contract nor would they inform you of all opertunities available to you.They can
and do however have time to teach T.Q. health & saftey most likely whimis and who knows what else.Looks like someone made good with the contract eh with mandatory four hour training.My question big bro is this . Who enforces the by laws and why are they n
t being used now in this situation?? Are we stating facts or making up stories.Why hasn't there been an ivestigation ? Will our commette be charged of there wrong doings ?

Big Bro thank you for answering my letter so quickly about " what now " .I especially liked the fact you stuck to the facts and did not resort to name calling.I belive the company is doing what it thinks is best for the company.They have a buisness to run
after all and sometimes have to do unpleasent things such as lay off's ect. I think the problem lies in the manner they do this or maybe were not given all the facts or half truths which leads to rumours and lies.Some will disagree but I do not think the
ompany intentionally set out to hurt anyone.More comnuication is needed to correct this.The part about the union I totally support you on and would like to know how to change the by-laws to reflect those idea's.I think if we correct our in house problems
nd start communicating with our company instead of treating them like the enemy we stand a fighting chance both management and union to making kelsey a world class plant to work in.However we have a long way to go and like every journey it all starts with
the first step.Question is what will our first step be ???

Dear bro I'm writting to you cause I'm concerned.We all know there are problems in both management and the union.My question to you is what now ? If you could be management for one day what would you change and how ? And what about our union and reps.If y
u had the power to change anything in our union what would this be and how ?
Big bro you've come a long way and gain the support of many off the shop floor.Your letters make sense and you have several good points.I ask you now as our leader how do we fix what is obviously broken.

Hey Big bro somethin' stinks about this contract vote.I talked to two brothers who said they defaced their ballots in protest,and yet there were no ballots thrown out from what I hear.Also the guys that were counting the votes all hold high senority in th
plant.This was a good contract for the higher senority worker,and I think they cheated on the count.From all the people me and my group of associates talked to,it looked like a no vote for sure.The count dosen't reflect the statements being made on the f
oor,as too many people say they voted no.Also in your letter on the web you bring up a point of a bunch of votes not being cast.Somethin' isn't right here,and I think we have to get to the bottom of this.We need to find out what happened to spoiled ballot
,and if the people who didn't vote were informed of the vote,and if the count was factual or phoney.Do you have any advice for bringing this issue up?Is there anything we can do,and who would we talk to, to get action on our concerns?
Somethin' Stinks email on the way bro.

You are just a loud mouth waste of everybodies time. If you are so dedicated, and believe in your cause why not do it out in the open? If you worked for my company I would terminate you in a second, and no damn union would do anything about it! In fact I
ould make sure you never found another job in this Province, and if possible anywhere else. If you are so smart you should have got a good education, and did something positive with your life. Instead you waste your time fighting a fight, that you will ne
er win. Just like most union idiots, you will beat your head against the wall, while me and others like me do what ever we want to anyway. Just give up and accept your position in life. You and all the working class people are exactly where you belong. AT
THE BOTTOM UNDER MY FOOT! So get off your soap box, and just do the work you have been assigned. After that, DO MORE LABOURER!

kpile the pension for there own gains only. We all should have listened better when you warned us, now we are going to pay the price again. I can just feel another piece of crap contract coming from our two top morons. GO GET THEM BRO!

Hi Big Bro. I work at a company called Aetna Manufacturing Canada Ltd. We don't have a union there, but the company treats us pretty good. We are a major supplier to Cami, and we make a pretty good wage of $14.00 an hour. We also have a benefit package wh
ch includes, a dental and drug plan. Every couple of weeks the company has a barbeque for us, and over all we are treated good by our bosses. I don't see how a union would do us any good at all. For what we woulday in union dues, I don't think we would ga
n any great advantages. I just don't think a union is the answer to all companies, and all workers. I feel Team Concept is a good thing, if it is used for the good of all the people in a company. I just don't see your point in your commentary. I hope that
this does not upset you, but some people are happy not being involved in the union.

Hey brother,nice site. It is refreshing to see that some people are not afraid to speak out about things that are bothering them. I read on your Q&A page about some guy that was working for one of our suppliers. You really gave the Union reps of Cami a bi
of a shot there. I tend to agree with you though. Unionized companies should not be giving out contracts to non unionized companies. It is counterproductive to the Nationals Objectives, and I feel it is just plain wrong of our reps to allow this. I have
orked at Cami for a number of years now, and I must tell you I have seen this kind of thing before. No one seems to have a passion for representing the workers in a proper manner. People seem to be out for themselves anymore, and don't want to do what is
est for the membership as a whole. I am not from Oxford County originally, but was a member of another CAW Local for a few years. These locals up in this region seem to be from a different planet when it comes to good union representation. No wonder more
eople in Southwestern Ontario are becoming more disgruntled with the union way of life. Maybe someone like yourself, can rekindle the fire the unions once had many years ago. Good luck in your efforts my friend, and I hope you succeed in making people see
the truth.

Hi Big Bro. Sorry I didn't leave my real name,but I don't want my company to find out I am here.We don't have a Union at our Plant and I would lose my job if they thought I was a union sympathizer.I have been off work now for about two months,and I have s
ill not recieved any word from the people at Comp.They never return my phone calls,and my company keeps hassaling me about going back to work.They have even threatened in an off handed sort of way to fire me if I don't come back now.I told them I would if
they would give me an easier job for awhile,but they said no.What should I do?If I stay off I may lose my job,not to mention the fact money is tight already.Please tell me what I can do,and what my rights might be in this matter.
