Union Propoganda Sheet, Read as News
March 31st, 2014
Turned on my local news station, 570 News, this afternoon, only because they usually carry the Blue Jays, and heard the 4:20 news update, including this item (not verbatim):
Toyota workers in Cambridge and Woodstock will vote next week to join Unifor, Canada’s largest union. For workers, this means greater job security and productivity improvements…
That, I repeat, was the news, not somebody from Unifor citing talking points. Unionizing means job security and productivity improvements: this apparently is now a fact, not an opinion.
Exactly why I quit listening to 570.
So a non-unionized plant is much less productive than a unionized one? Who knew.
What it probably DOES mean is next time Toyota plans to cut back on expenses by closing plants, the Cambridge and Woodstock plants will be number one/two on the list.
