It's been a while since I've been on the site.

CFP exam done. results soon....? we'll see.

had a bit of a sleep deprivation thing going on, so I had to accumulate my sleeping bank and fill it to 85%. It's there, but on the way I caught a COLD, probably lack of sleep from some overnight picketing action.

If you haven't heard, Indoor and outdoor workers are on strike. Heading into week 3.
We'll continue to fight the good fight for the sake of keep benefits that past generations were allowed so we can continue to defend what the union has worked so hard to attain. Not "our" fault that the whole world is going through an economic crisis.... But just because you "the City" decide that now would be a great time to save, doesn't make it fair. You've given the five other sectors a 3/3/3% raise over the next 3 years, how come it's so hard to give it to other workers.

An article that you should read (from the union side.)

The public has been quite vocal about the lack of garbage service. IF you ask me, if it's really this important that you think the Provincial government should step in and enforce arbitration, then maybe it is an essential service and we should be entitled to the same deal that has been give to other "unions" over the last 5 months.... Day13?...

I HATE all this bullshit talk about strikers not letting anyone into the transfer/garbage sites. It's people using third-hand tales and making it seem like the strikers are the monsters. Yet, if you were to go to the site where I was picketing you'll notice that the union members are quite nice, agreeable and will let you throw your garbage into the trucks if you wait your turn. In a civilized manner, hence the waiting 10-15 seconds to dump your garbage. a little inconvinence to make a point to citizens, the city and overall public that we should have a fair collective agreement. When people say that these services should be privatized.. ok, fine. But what happens when that privatized company goes on strike?! the provincial can not legistlate them back to work, the city will be locked into this deal and guess what?!!! no garbage service at all. (eye rolls). Mark my word, a deal will not be reached until well after this week , at the earliest.

IN other news: Huntingfield was showcased on "real world" they should like Keane/ Maroon 5 but minus the singers voice. more Keane-eque. check em out.
