I see you think the CUPE people should sit at
a minimum wage job for a while to be more grateful. I believe
you when you say your husband works very hard at work, but has
no pension and benefits and that it's hard making ends meet
while paying medication, dental bills, etc...all the while
trying to save
enough money for retirement.
But I really wish your husband had a job with
CUPE or some other union cause he would probably be making a
little more money and he would have benefits and a pension,
making life a little less stressful and the future look a
little brighter. Now picture this, after 15 or 20 years of
service, the government or company decides to jeopordize you
and your husband's pension and benefits, obviously upsetting
your husband.
Would you tell him to be quiet, get a minimum
wage job and be grateful?
