Seen on Reddit - A New Brunswick Power truck threatens to run over striking civil servants in Gagetown, NB.

This is vehicular assault in the name of crossing a picket line. In the name of siding with management. And the real twisted shit is that NB Power is a provincial crown corporation, so this is one public employee threatening to crush another one because they have different bosses.

Fucking disgusting.

Lol, now they're trying to discredit the PSAC strike because "only" 35% of the membership voted, though 98% approved.

Bruh, that's how votes work. You don't show up to vote, you don't get one. You wanna start applying quorum to strike votes, you'd better apply it to our shitty FPTP system as well.

I retired before I turned 50, so I returned to work in a Medical Facility (hospital) storing data/paying financial claims, & as a bonded carrier for secure deliveries on an Airforce base.
I also had my DJ business, in its heyday, I was looking to expand & hire, with 3 vans & 2 full sets of DJ gear to go on the road. The Taxman wanted all my money.

About then, my wife became disabled & our life plans had to be changed.

Even after I retired from the Military, I was hired back as a Civilian with the Public Service #PSAC and learned that workers have rights! (I'd never been in a Union before, and I got active in it for a time)
The jobs I was called to do, were not overly skilled or paid. But, for the same money, you could have me, with decades of experience in everything. I was valuable to them, so they offered me up to 6 jobs in one week, until I returned again to the work force
