Yesterday, I was talking about the rigidity of the system.
Its lack of flexibility.
Stupid logic that says “the rules are the rules”.
Well, unions suffer from the same disease.
They apply their regulations to the letter, without any discernment.
“Regulation 2.01-5B says that? So that’s what we’re going to apply!”
It’s very simple, robots would show more circumspection!
JUDGMENT WITHOUT JUDGMENT
The day before yesterday, The Press released a story of a Quebec trucker who – hic! – got caught driving – hic! – its heavyweight with – hic! – 12 beers in the body.
Her employer, of course, fired her. But the truck driver and her union filed a complaint with the arbitration tribunal… which ruled in their favor!
Believe it or not, but the referee in question ruled that given that alcoholism – hic! – is an illness, the employer should have “accommodated” the driver by installing a breathalyzer in her vehicle!!!!
“This is a great victory for workers and disabled workers in particular. We are very happy with the decision, given that it is a striking example of employers’ duty to accommodate,” said his lawyer, Me Dominique Goudreault. “It is a situation where the employer had not taken its responsibilities.”
You read that right: it’s not the lady who didn’t take responsibility by driving drunk as a boot, no.
It’s his employer!!!!
Who failed to accommodate his “disabled” employee!!!
Crazy stiff.
Any person that’s got an IQ higher than a goof reads that and says, “Are you kidding me, Calvary?”
PRIVATE CLUBS
So folks, if you get caught by the police while driving with enough alcohol in your body to blow up a hot air balloon, tell the cop you’re “disabled”, you have “a serious illness” and that you are not responsible for what happens to you!
And after that, the unions say they have the well-being of the people at heart, unlike the bad bosses!!!!
Are you serious?
All you care about is protecting YOUR members who bring you money!
You operate like a private club.
Let me go with the “people”! You don’t give a damn about the “people”! He can get hit by an 18-wheeler driven by a woman filled to the brim with beer, the “people”!
It doesn’t give you a wrinkly navel.
Unions that think like that are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.
This is why it is so difficult to change things in Quebec.
Because we are struggling with bureaucrats, civil servants, corporations and unions who DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING!
And who only think of themselves!
The machine I was talking about yesterday has only one goal: to protect itself.
POOR AGGRESSORS!
And after that, one wonders why citizens are so cynical and suspicious of authority figures.
Duh!
Soon, if this continues, employers will have to “accommodate” their employees who grab the buttocks of their clients under the pretext that these “poor wretches” suffer from a “serious illness” that they cannot control!
