We where always competitive,…

We where always competitive, where do you get this outlandish idea that we aren’t competitive. The construction industry that I’ve been in for the last 37 years has always made money, both the companies and the workers. This government argued that it was for the people to get voted in, and then turned around and made it totally for big corporations with all of the anti worker acts that are being passed from removing minimum wage increases to trying to ruin collective agreements ( which are there for working people, remember us, the PEOPLE you are supposed to be for) with all kinds of deregulation and trying to make the workplace a free for all. In electrical construction a 1:1 apprentice journey person ratio is completly ludicrous which looks to completely destroy the industry by giving corporations basically free cheap labor and make future journeypersons less compitant and also flooding the market with jouneypersons in the future. It seems like you have done absolutely zero consultations with actual working people to try to push through all of these ridiculous so called make us competitive and for the people “for the rich people” agendas. I’m not sure how dumb you think the average working person in Ontario is from minimum wage workers to construction workers but I think you are totally underestimating the power of working people and unless you are truly for the working people which at this point it doesn’t look like you are, the working people of this province are going to call you on it.
