Man, nice to see solidarity in action. It’s a rare thing in North America.
Hey, Bails!
Literally Bob White. If you haven't seen it, you should watch Final Offer a good documentary that shows him in action and shows the birth of the CAW.
I was raised in the UAW, then CAW. And man, comparing the modern UAW to Unifor is really sad. Unifor is so weak in its negotiating stance I could only imagine what Bob White would say about it.
If it wasn't so sad, it'd be funny. The CAW broke away from the UAW because of real and serious corruption in the UAW which lead to really bad deals for workers. It's like Unifor is doing the same thing, but without the corruption - just complacency and incompetence.
Reminds me of the time I googled Orc jokes at the Pathfinder table and as I was reading them out it began to dawn on us that these were jokes from 70 years ago, but with the N word replaced with Orc… 😬
