VANCOUVER - Boat show hit by strike :-(
 

For those of you wanting to attend the Vancouver, BC boat show, at BC Place
Stadium, it could be canceled :-(

http://vancouver.cbc.ca/regional/ser...t-show20050207

It's a great show, if anyone can attend it. And well worth the admission
cost. Hopefully, it will still go ahead.

The article says:

Waddell said that the recreational boating industry generates
approximately $1.4 billion annually for the B.C. economy, and
employs nearly 15,000 full-time workers. She said the show
is important because B.C.'s boating industry is spread throughout
the province. "They come from all over to view products and
see dealers, who are all in one place."

oh well, maybe if the city starts sharing all that money with the people who
actually work at the show, they won't have this problem.

That would be too bad.

But who do those layabout stadium workers think they are, anyway?
Demanding 2% annual wage increases? Of all the nerve.

(Want to keep the union out of the workplace? Foster a working
environment where the union would be unneccesary).

You have to be a bit empathetic with workers earning 9-10 USD an hour
and hoping to merely keep abreast of inflation. Quite a bit different
than the boat shows that unions screwed up on the east coast- there
were some shows at one time where as an exhibitor you were prohibited
from unpacking and setting up your own display.......(had to call in a
$100 minimum Teamster). Once you had your booth erected, you were
required to pay a member of the electrician's union a minimum amount
(probably $75-100) to "connect exhibit to stadium grid"........IOW,
plug in your extension cord.

The BC thing sounds like its the actual stadium folks- ushers, ticket
takers, janitors, etc.....asking for a 2% raise.

Remember who's site you were reading... they aren't telling the whole story.
And their salary average included PART TIME workers. Want to bet the
full-time semi-skilled aren't earning *significantly* more? And this is
socialist Canada, eh? No health care costs... government takes care of you.

Yep... our good old unions. Any wonder why our jobs are moving overseas?

But hey... an unskilled factory worker can afford private school for the
kids, 4WD SUV and minivan, boat, big house and TV, etc... all on barely
managing to graduate high school. What a deal.

Well, Jackoff, stick to it, and maybe you'll be able to get that
unskilled factory job in a few years.

Well, to paraphrase one of your lib friends... Krause, I see that you still
don't have the mental capacity to post like
an adult, and, because of your failure in life, must resort to childish name
calling. Grow up.

Since you two are lock-steps libs, I'm sure you have no argument with that,
eh?

Actually, he'd have to change his name first. Think about a guy named
Jackoff working among people who work for a living.

Great... it couldn't be a union shop then, huh?

I hold a dual citizenship (US and Canada) and have some very high-up
boating friends up there. Ill make a few calls, and see what I can do.

In many cities the union workers at the exhibit halls are nothing more than
crooks. You cannot plug in your electrical cord on your display to the
outlet next to you...a union electrician must do the job and you pay for
his/her time.

Want something moved? Better not do it yourself or you will be fined....the
union laborer has to do it and at union pay.....again you pay.

Perhaps the greed is not only with the city. In the end the public and the
exhibitors get the screw job.

Well, that's because there's only one place on earth that there can be
a boat show of any interest, and that's only accessible if you live in
Naples, FL, right NOYB?

Harry,
Did you really say all of those things to Tuuk's internet provider? If so,
then hopefully you didn't also call a branch of law enforcement and tell
them all of that. Using somebody else's name to post to Usenet is probably
not a crime that they'd care about...but filing a false report probably is
one that would get their attention.

The Miami show isn't threatened by a union strike.

I've never called Tuuu,,,,k's ISP.

Further, the standard way to file a complaint about "spoofing" is to
submit one of the offending posts with complete headers. Anyone who looks
at the headers of Tuuu,,,,k's posts will see the address of his news
posting server and the name of his ISP. Both are different from mine.
Tuuu,,,,k does spoof my online name ID.

And, further, there would be no reason for me to convince an ISP that many
of Tuuu,,,,k's posts *were* threatening towards me. His posts speak for
themselves.

Our newsgroup pedicab puller/sushi delivery boy certainly seems to be
reacting strongly to whatever message he got from his ISP, though, eh?

He's a little bit out there, yes. Some of it's pretty funny though.
