Petr - I guess you missed this part: Did your friend also tell you that HEU includes medical technicians? These are the people that give you the CAT scans, x-rays, mammograms, lab test, etc. These people are now earning $2.00 - $4.00 less than their counterparts in Ontario and
Alberta. Less money in a place where the cost of living is the highest in Canada.

You continue to compare public employees to the private sector. Its apples and oranges. Do you want an American style medical system? If you don't support the HEU, that is exactly what you will get. You may pay less taxes but you will pay more for hospitalization and get less, guaranteed.

As far as the printing industry goes...their demise was the result of multinationals, not the unionized employees.
