"Anonymous" lashes out at Eugene Plawiuk

I recently posted this, encouraging CUPE National President Paul Moist to offer a fair settlement to striking unionized workers employed by CUPE itself. Of course, my stipulation was that the contract would be one without concessions, which CUPE has been demanding.

Eugene Plawiuk, whose opinions I normally agree with, stated...

Unionized Union reps are labour fakirs and parasites on the back of their lowest
paid workers. This is the bureaucracy striking against the bureaucracy. These
guys should be elected like they are in CUPW.


Not only did he recieve a stern response Uncorrected Proofs, "Anonymous" also rushed to the defense of unionized union employees, and said...

What a great way to divide workers: servicing reps are bureaucrats (last I
checked bureaucrats are workers too) and are paid off the backs of "their lowest
paid workers." Eugene, you should be an employer, you have that one skill that's
necessary: the divide and conquer tactic.

later adding,

Solidarity? how can you preach to someone else when clearly you don't support
the idea yourself? Do any of you out there wonder if maybe you should know the
truth of whats being offered before assuming that they are not being dealt with
fairly? Does no one want to even know that before playing the blame game? Its
funny how easy it is for some of you to divide our union, without knowing the
facts. If all employers have the "divide and conquer tactic" then I strongly
urge you to run for the position. No ones stopping you from doing that. Show us
how the perfect person would get the job done please. I dare you.



To that, I say solidarity forever? You're damn right!
