Wow, Canadian companies are using the financial crisis to fuck over staff

[HEyHEY]

Canada has not yet been effected by all of this shit as severly as the rest of the world. I have two friends who work for companies that have ask them to "Take a pay cut" if they want to keep their jobs. Sounds like bullshit opportunism to me. They're probably thinking, "Here's our chance!"

1. Your parasites have always been just a half step behind ours. n/t

[HEyHEY]

2. Very true

[HEyHEY]

3. I'd like to see legislation for the next year

That says if your company asks you to take a pay cut, you can lodge a complaint and if they can't prove it's needed they can't do it.

4. unless they are union, they haven't got a place to complain.

And guess what? Quite a few folks in my area have been asked to take a pay cut. I *doubt* this is some great Canadian conspiracy.

Now if your friends were in a union, it would be another deal. But a private company? They have the choice of the cut or no job. :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

5. Not saying it is a conspiracy, I do think companies could use the crisis

As an easy way to weasel a savings out of people. And yes, they don't have a place to complain, which is why I think legislation needs to be inacted to make sure people don't start getting needlessly fucked over.
