[Buuxo]

Hey juxa, I would say so

I work hard when I have to The whole situation isn't over, but the labour board suspended the lockout for 30 days and forced the company back to the bargaining table and to accept a "Rand formula" which means every employee must pay union dues but they don't have to be a union member if they don't want to. The union is required by law to represent all employees whether they are union member or not, so it's only fair that they pay the dues. But if there is nothing worked out by Dec 12th, I might be back out there on the line, I don't think that'll happen though, at least i hope not, I already spent 7 1/2 months out there, that's enough

[Buuxo]

Indho,what does it mean back on the line? 7months of protest sounds like hard work.Hope it has good outcome.

[Baluug]

I mean back on the picket line. Instead of going to work, we were picketing on the street in front of the factory.

What if you dont want to be a member? You still have to pay because the law requires it? Where is this, Canada?

Morning my sister and brothers. An old somali man was beaten by a young Somali and 4 white guys. Thats not the shocking part. I read it online this morning and the comments were like so ignorant they made me laugh instead of upsetting me. One guy was like " The Somali people came here for the welfare system and they started pulling down their pants and defacating in the hall ways. They need to go back home."

You don`t have to be a member if you don;t want to, but you still have to pay the dues because the union is required by law to represent you whether you`re a member or not(if it`s a unionized workplace) Before, the non-members didnt have to pay dues but the union still had to represent them and file grievances on their behalf etc. and most of the paying members didn`t like that, obviously it was unfair that they got the same services for free. I didn`t really care but I was a minority in that group. This is in Alberta btw, the laws vary from province to province.

[Chocolate and Honey]

Oh, so they're required to represent everyone.

[Baluug]

Yep, and those union dues are tax-deductible so I usually get it all back when I file my tax return. April is usually a good month for me.

[Chocolate and Honey]

The only time I like Unions is when they negotiate a better salary for us and lord knows they havent done that in a while!!

[Baluug]

Well once this is over I`ll get a nice pay raise insha Allah and lots of back pay too, so I`m a union supporter at the moment

[Geel_jire]

Good morning trollers.

 

maxaa isku dhacaya saaka ?

[Baluug]

I think Minnesota is a union-friendly state, at least that`s where the headquarters are for my union(UFCW) and actually also the headquarters for my company, based in Roseville MN. I asked my boss one time what were the chances of me being able to transfer to their factory in Minneapolis and he didn;t give me an asnwer, so Im guessing slim to none
