  • Didn’t see it in the article so …

    AirCanada and it’s employee are in negotiations since December, at the last negotiation (the one that force the vote for a strike) AirCanada step out of the negotiation without a word and ghost the Union’s negotiators. After that they choose an arbitration (which will probably be immensely beneficial for them), the union refuse rightly so.

    Now seeing the strike approaching the Union tried to build a plan with AirCanada for the closing of operations in an orderly fashion, AirCanada ghost them and change employee scheduling so as much as possible employee will be stranded outside of Canada, employees had to call ill en masse so they didn’t fly a one way to Beijing without hotel or way home. The Union tried to find a way out of this, AirCanada lied to it’s employees saying that if they come out on their flight they will be paid, press by a strike watchdog they had to explain that the employees working on their way home will not be paid and will not be protected by their collective bargain.

    AirCanada are asshole and they make that situation, they build it so people will lose their travel plan when they refuse to negotiate. Now they want the government to clean up their mess with a special law that will force flight attendants to go back to work.

    Fuck them










  • They build their manufacturing industries since the 1970, they saw an opportunity and position themselves as the « avant guards » for that problem. In short they have decades in advance from everyone. Now someone could build a factory but they will not be able to ever compete against Taiwan.

    China always said that Taiwan is their, Trumps wanting to bring back chips manufacturing to the US is laughable at best 1. Doing so will need a huge influx in capital 2. Running the new factories will be impossible/cost effective (read minimal cost) as the Taiwanese do (you know regulations and such) 3. Training employees will be a fucking pain. Now since China always had eyes on Taiwan, the American faltering presence will give them the perfect opportunity to attack or soft conquer it.

    In conclusion if Trumps’s bid works and chips industries happen in America = the price of computer go up for poorer products for decades to come
