LABOUR UNION DEBATE continues in TLA
David Rapaport, a university professor and government employee, argues in favour of public sector labour unions. I, with a 42-year career in the private sector, believe they should be abolished.
The Lindsay Advocate (TLA) magazine.
A notorious and decidedly left wing magazine, the TLA actively promotes labour unions, social justice causes, universal basic income, and a Marxist preference for the responsibility of governments in Canada.
As a recognized Libertarian within Kawartha Lakes, I was initially surprised when owner/editor Roderick Benns invited me to write an article about unions for his magazine. He knew that I oppose labour unions in any organization that citizens fund through taxation, where union membership is a condition of employment (such as teaching and nursing), and where the hiring of staff is restricted to union members only.

It appears that Roderick wants the debate to continue, In page 7, you can read Letters to the Editor by David Rapaport and I in the current TLA issue linked above. We continue to express our opposing views of unions. They follow last month’s issue which featured a full 550-word article by David and I in which we presented more fulsome arguments for our opposing views if you care to read them.
Today, I have sent another Letter of the Editor as a commentary on David’s current post which I hope will appear in the April issue next month. May the “debate” continue.
Boy could I talk on this subject. In order to even succeed in the private sector I have had to join Unions just to qualify for contracts, complete jobs or enter sites that were unionized. I am on withdrawal from Local 465, firefighters union, local 230 teamsters union, local 793, operating engineers union and one I would have to research. This is how much control they have over the workforce. And with the DIE culture (race to the bottom) our HR debts. are perplexed with the regulations that make every worker equal in productivity, making Canada the least productive nation in the G7. Oh boy could we talk on this subject.
To succeed ,not just financially, but mentally and emotionally ,I chose a business with no gov. involvement as a matter of fact the gov. did not even recognize me, and that is how I completed the last 35 years of my life. I left a lot out but to the point Mr. Rappaport is an opinion leader that must be challenged. You have to live the damage to see the damage and that man has not.
If this guy is hanging around the CKL area we should check deeper into him.
