REPEAL THE DEAL!

On Monday May 3rd, 2004, hospital workers across BC were feeling frustration, disbelief and anger.

Overwhelmingly they rejected the "deal" that was made late Sunday night to end the HEU job action and the massive province wide strikes planned by unions across BC for Monday May 2 (which included over 70,000 CUPE members walking off the job).

This deal still means over 600 MORE jobs contracted out, and a 10% wage cut across the board.

In Victoria, HEU workers refused to return to the job. Ferries were stopped, buses weren't running. In Quesnel, the entire city was shut down.

Monday saw incredible community support, with people out on the lines and at the picket sites across the province.

Stop Privatization, Layoffs and Cuts!

" I think the rest of the labour movement especially, but that everyone across BC should be worried about what is going on with healthcare. The contracting out and the privatization just scares me, it scares the hell out of me."

-HEU worker Thursday, April 29th

Laundry, food service and janitorial services have already been privatized and contracted out in BC hospitals. As more jobs are ready to go, people in BC need to understand that attacks on HEU are the beginning of attacks against all poor and working people in BC. We must unite for healthcare and workers

Campbell Must Go!

This Saturday we must unite community members with HEU workers and support the fight of HEU members against the sellout of our healthcare system. We must put patients first by defending foundations of healthcare. We must connect the fight against attacks by the Campbell government with the struggle of the HEU. As working people, women, people of color, immigrants, refugees, indigenous people, people with disabilities, seniors, students; as people under attack, the fight alongside HEU is a fight for everyone of us.

With the leadership of HEU members, all working and poor people in BC must unite in solidarity to demand: Repeal the Deal! Stop Privatization, Layoffs and Cuts! Campbell Must Go!

Come out and support Hospital Workers Saturday May 8th! Organized by Communities in Solidarity with Hospital Workers

[xwheelercorex]

i could be wrong. but arent the h e u workers in BC paid way more than the national majority?

shut up and transplant my liver bitches.

this message brought to you by ignorance.

most HEU workers are single mothers. do you want to know what 21 dollars an hour gets my mom? 3000 dollars a year in debt to raise her children. the "poverty line" as stated by the government, is bullshit. we are well above the poverty line, but fuck if we have money flowing through our fingers. 40000 are going to be fired. and replaced with what? they cant come back. theyre being blacklisted. replaced by 9 dollar an hour fuckups that just graduated and assfucked their way through a course. most workers in the hospitals have over 10 years of experience. quality workers taking care of you when your fucking sick. do you want some shithead with half a brain in a hospital where absolute cleanliness is needed? the fuck will probably scratch his ass, pick his nose and fuck a crackwhore on his break without washing his hands.

that's what happens when you do community service in jail. don't worry steve, that 21 cents an hour will add up when your sentence is finished.

and for the original poster, brandon, what about bill 37, i believe? the new minumum working age is 12. a 12 yearold on a 5 day school week can work 20 hours, one on a 4 day week 27. any type of job as far as ive read. the new minimum wage screwed over most 15-20 yearolds for first jobs, but think of how many 12-15 yearolds would be completely satisfied with 6 dollars an hour. not to mention theyre too stupid to organize into unions or stand up for their rights.

[Arkham]

i didn't start this thread.
steve, i totally want to live below the poverty line, so long as i can have my car, cable internet, my room's entertainment unit, new computer, new cab for my amp, box of twinkies a week, at least 10 movie rentals a month, 2 new cds a week, beers, lots a beers, a half quarter of ganj every two weeks, and all the latest fashion trends. and how could i forget passion flakies. yeah, passion flakies all the time.

[wiley]

my mistake. shut up with the beer talk. you remind me of things i dont have.

[Sushi Destroyer]

Give me your amp and cab, pussy. My new bass is going to be DELICIOUS.
