If so, it's just another essential business Gobbled up by a us mega corp and closed. They just purchased in 2021.
If I had a magic ball, I foresee them closing down that union facility, a new investor will buy the mine and then they buy the product 3rd hand from the "new" producer to sell under a new brand?
Have no insight, it's just a thing that seems to happen. I don't know why the gov is allowing everything to be gobbled up by the biggest producers to destroy.
A Heinz type situation? Heinz still buys their tomato paste from the Leamington plant that pays half the wages.
Some countries it is more difficult to do so. I would look to the federal government to inact laws to stop those practices. These laws could hinder foreign entities purchasing Canadian businesses and relocating them to their own country. I don’t see why anyone would believe a foreign owned company would want to remain in this country unless it was receiving substantial benefits be it low taxes or cheap labor.
It was telling when the factory manager started building a multi million dollar house after finding out that the factory he was managing was closing. Then strangely enough became president of the new company... Typically the union goes with the factory. But, if they make a deal with the union like they did at Heinz, they will sign away their recall rights with the closure agreement.
So the processing plant is still up. I’m wondering how much of this is due to overshooting production for winter but not selling it due to the abnormally high temps this year. If that’s the case I’m sure they’ll be back at it in a month or two.
You likely have no idea what you are talking about. There is a massive pile of salt beyond comprehension outside. It is tarped as to not melt away in the rains. It is no secret that North America barely used any salt this year on the roads. Their stockpile is as big as it can get likely. Shit luck more likely than shit company is my best guess.
Piece of shit rules and regulations that allow this, perhaps?
Unless this is illegal.
Just like my workplace is very slow (partly) because we are bidding against Chinese companies / companies that will order from China and slap their name on it (after improvements)
That really sucks for all those workers of this is true. I’ll know for sure this afternoon between 3-3:30pm when I can normally hear the blasting underground from my home.
What an a$$ backwards way of thinking you have. Without unions, companies would get away with paying employees below minimum wages. This includes those with degrees. You do realize that those who are not in management, directors, COO, and CEO positions donate thousands out of their pay cheques to community programs like food banks, Hiatus House, toy drives, Unicef, Goodwill, and many other local and national charities. Majority of union members believe in paying it forward. This doesn’t come out of the pockets of those in management or higher positions, as they are busy building their second or third $5 million house, or wondering where out of the country they will go for their next extravagant vacation. Without union members, people couldn’t afford to shop at local mom and pop / local small business stores. Those would eventually have to shut down also. I guess because you make below minimum wage, your jealousy suggests others should have to also.
Not an April fools joke, I have heard the same from people employed at the salt mine.

It’s 100% a Heinz scenario
Highbury is still unionized though.
lol the same positions are offering a fraction of what they were paid at Heinz.
Ya this seems to be the trend now Who do they think is gonna be able to afford to buy stuff if they outsource, downsize and wage freeze everyone
People in other countries where they export too.
And if they are all doing it?

Problem is when the politicians financially benefit from this process

Big strike last year sign a deal then lay them off/fire them basically. Bring in scabs and cut costs. Icandrawaciecle got this right.
Cause climate change
No joke. They were told "no one reports back to work indefinitely ".
What the fuck. That's some dumbass shit there I think.
Yikes! Poor workers!
I’m not seeing anything in the news about this, is there anyone that works at the mine that can confirm this?
Can confirm they were told not to report back to work. My dad works there
Terrible news very sorry to hear that.

What utter bullshit. Those poor workers. What a piece of shit company.

Everyone loves unions until the jobs are lost.

You idiot.
