But she shouldn't still have a job, if she isn't actually [i]doing[/i] that job. If it was the company's fault that she got hurt, then, fine, they should make amends for that. But, if it wasn't (and I'm sure that's the case in many of these sorts for incidents), people should start accepting that sometimes bad things happen, and bad luck doesn't automatically entitle you to special treatment. [/qb][/QUOTE]I forgot to mention that she was slowly starting to go back to work as full-time when she was terminated. I really don't mind where unions fight in these circumstances. It's necessary, to prevent the exploitation of employees. But there are many instances where I draw the line, such as: - Garbagemen being paid the same wages as Computer Programmers, - Unions complaining about them being the only "right" entity in the corporate world, - Unions saying that this company or that entity exists because of them, that everything is done right because of them, and they are critical to our everyday lives. Bullshit Narcissism all the way. The one thing I actually supported the Provincial Conservative government of doing is proposing legislation that would take off some of the teeth that the Unions have. Many companies complain that they would like to do business here, if only the unions didn't have that much power. There would be many benefits for legislation that would limit the powers of any Union. Too bad the Conservatives don't have the guts to pull it off, and it's a shame the Unions don't see why it needs to be done (all they ever do these days is complain, complain, complain....).
