Now having said all this do I agree with someone living on EI? Yes and no.
My biggest thing is that in Newfoundland right now the economy is so poor that part time jobs are mostly what you are going to find.And people getting into the FBI union are a rare case.You have to get IIRC over 250 hours strait work in a year.Your name is on a list
and when the ships come in they call who they need.
I know MANY people you get 220ish hours strait then get sent home.Unionized plant workers get paid more,plus get full time positions.
Thus the cycle of the pogey.
If everyone here is so dead against the Newfies on pogey heres what you should do.Write your member of paraliment.Tell them you wish to see more money pumped into Newfoundland from Government.For the only purpose for development of the economy,to produce fulltime jobs so the 11.3 percent welfare bum's and pogey guys can make a stable life for their family's.This would then cost the union of Canada less money in welfare checks and pogey payments...
Oh wait...sounds a whole lot like what Danny is trying to do doesn't it?
Given the choice I can honestly say MOST people in my area of Newfoundland would be glad to have full time job's.However it's not the reality.
