Peacenik saw this jarring headline screaming from The Star newsboxes as Peacenik walked up University Avenue this morning. Yes 30 years of republican and conservative propaganda has really done wonders for society. It has brought society to a state of collapse and the public doesn't care. 30 years of anti-union, anti-worker, anti-healthcare, anti-pension, anti-community, anti-social propaganda has brought society to its knees.
Watch the oleaginous mouthpieces on tv trashing the unions. And remember this. The collapse has/is occurring. When you are in a disaster perception is distorted. Everything moves in slow motion. Much of society doesn't even realize, yet, that it is in a state of collapse. So just when society needs unions, it continues to vote for stuff like poor working conditions, no consumer protection, no universal health care, no pension reform, and no community action. Peacenik says good for the unions. Ah....the sweet smell of worker solidarity....garbage.

This is all the union's fault. Scrap the sick-bank system. End the strike.
The feeling among GTA residents is clear, according to an Angus Reid poll conducted for the Toronto Star. More than three in four, 76 per cent, oppose the strike. More than two-thirds, 71 per cent, think CUPE should drop demands for an agreement that allows workers to bank 18 sick days a year. And an overwhelming 81 per cent favour provincial back-to-work legislation.
Toronto is on Day 3 of a strike by 30,000 city workers.
