2. October 26, 2009 — It would seem that Danny doesn’t get out much. If he thinks there is no worker exploitation in this day and age he is dead wrong. As a union organizer I see wrongs committed against workers every day. This is not to say that some conditions have never improved because they have, but most of the time it is because the union is knocking on the door. There is a need for us (unions) in the construction industry now and well into the future to ensure workers rights are honoured and to speak for those who are afraid to speak up because they fear they will lose their job.

1. October 17, 2009 — The article is 100 per cent true. They have been trying to enter our company’s work force for several years using this tactic and others. However, they have never been successful. What they recently tried was a cash bribery incentive to the staff. Still no takers. The unions were desperately needed in the early days (1950s) when my father immigrated to this country because of the abuse that took place, but not today. Today we have government, private and world intervention.
All workers in the construction industry have much to be proud off and should make the realization that by following the gluttony of the union, they will find themselves out of a great future. Respond to this comment
