GENERAL TEAMSTERS, LOCAL UNION NO. 362

On July 20th, 2009, two articles appeared in The Globe and Mail that should be of great concern to all Canadians.
Our question regarding the article on Health and Welfareis:
Do we all have the money to upgrade our service and are those that don’t get another doctor? This should be a concern to us all. Our health care system is being dismantled right before our eyes and not enough people are screaming!
Our response regarding the second article on the Public Sector is:
How many people do you think buy this propaganda? Union Membership in Canada is higher than in the U.S. but not for long if this CEO gets his way. Brothers and Sisters, it is imperative that Union density does not shrink any further as it will only hurt the middle class, which makes this country one of the best places in the world to live. Like it or not the U.S. is slowly becoming a third world country. Please do not go along with this type of thinking to reduce Union jobs and the standard of living for all those working for our governments; lest we forget the liquor store employees.
