Going on strike is dumb

[Richard Winterbourne @RichardWinterb]

@DavidXnot4 @RobShaw_BC @bcgeu @bcndp The way the union encouraged its members (I am one!) to strike, and swiftly commit financial suicide through lost wages, is actually insane. I voted NO. Imagine how f*cking STUPID the people who voted YES to striking must feel. It will take years to recover.

@tay15513 @RobShaw_BC @paulgfinch @bcgeu @RoyalBCMuseum @BCGreens @EmilyLowan The BCPS already has lots of immigrants, and they are great🤷🏻‍♂️

@DougBaynes @RobShaw_BC @paulgfinch @bcgeu @RoyalBCMuseum @BCGreens @EmilyLowan Don't worry, the idiots in the BCGEU (of which I am a member!) voted to go on strike and commit financial suicide. If you are worried about the province going broke, wait until you find out how badly union members have sabotaged their own financial position.

@dan_cameron99 @cfibBC @bcgeu @rmttn @GlobalBC @richardzussman Lmao right?

@inakomysliachii @timberson20 @bcgeu Public servants are nowhere near numerous enough to tilt elections. Maybe like 3 ridings, but even that is generous.

@inakomysliachii @bcgeu The government is a great example of an entity to unionize under. It is a monopoly with near limitless ability to bully and exploit. Who cares if it is "like a private business"?

@Jakegnhe @bcgeu Imagine being among the fools who voted YES in the first place. The union has plenty of valid points, but striking is financial suicide for a huge portion of members. 🤡🌎
