I did not want to mix this with my other comment.
Globalization is collective bargaining in reverse. As we see here, if you unionize, the company just moves somewhere else. If you passed any of the laws you propose here, the company would simply avoid Canada all together. The outcome of that, zero jobs, is the same as what is happening now. Not an improvement.
As long as there are “other” workers and jurisdictions lining up to replace us, that “willing” replacement labour is the problem. It will be robots soon.
By the way, you get “arrested” for breaking the law. The “legal” responsibility of the CEO is to maximum returns for investors. We live in a system where the laws are the exact opposite of what you are proposing.
I do not see a legal solution that helps. A social movement will not help.
The only solution is investors.
I regret not getting back to this sooner. Still, I want to extend my hand in solidarity. I too am enraged.
At their immediate manager’s pay rate if not the CEO’s pay rate.
The smartest part of this comment is “and their investors”. The CEO makes us mad be he is a distraction. This behaviour is driven by the desire to increase return for investors. The CEO is just one of them. The company has to do what investors want. This is probably what they want.
We cannot “tank the stock” unless we sell it. So, again, this is an action by investors.
Unless you just want something to be mad about, stay focussed on the actual problem.
