I saw this yesterday on facebook as I was heading to the airport to fly to Ottawa and meet with the takeover teams there. There are many saying that unions should give concessions in order to a) help the economy; b) save the company; c) not be greedy; d) be like everyone else who has had to make do with less; or e) because we just don't like unions.
ARGH
How is it that the dialogue is never - let's ensure that corporations pay a reasonable tax rate on their earnings? Or let's ensure that CEO salaries are reasonable? Or how about let's close loopholes allowing the wealthy to continue to get rich while the rest of us suffer? My favourite is let's ensure companies provide employees with a decent wage, health care, and a pension so they don't have to rely on public services quite as much?
Anyway, here is the grisly cartoon.
SIGH
