And this is how we treat our skilled labourers? What a shame! And by we I am referring to our government. Im only 35 and Ive paid many a dues. This is a typical Canadian story nowadays. Seriously, we need to right this ship asap. And happy belated bday my friend, sorry about the news

I got two birds on tonight with veggies! Nothing fancy but I wanted to try out the new 18qt roaster

Awesome!!!

They came full circle??

I get about 90% of my gear there. Best store we have around and the owners are awesome!

The great bear? On the left hand side of the highway with a huge house one the right side?

So, the Royals eh?

I get the looks from the wife too! And the kids tease me haha

Well I hope this loosens them up and builds up the confidence!!!

Way to go Jays!!!!!!!

We need a canadian version on ron paul IMO

Company 1 overtime after 44(no working days off) Company 2 overtime after 55(work any unscheduled shift ya want) Wifey stayed home today so we could look at all options. Im taking the new job. Thank you all for your input? This place rocks!

If ya read the whole thread, its basically boiled down to this Company 1 less pay and contract work/no stability. Full benefits 5 on 2 off schechule Company 2 $6/raise, 2 hours paid travel time(even though its the same site 25 mins away) more stability and 6 on 3 off schedule, full benefits

This mine is just opening. Its not operational as of yet

I can still post on OFC lol. Only from my truck during my downtime. Once im outta the truck no cell phones and never any pictures. Some of the labourers hate our jobs because we basically sit and watch them work. Ill admit it feels bad. Same as when i was in a safety consultant in the oilfields. So I just get out and chat with them, bust some jokes, grab em waters etc. Thats all im permitted to do. And its not necessarily engineering im doing. Its surveying for engineering companies. Im no engineer thats for certain lol

Awesome dan!!!! Well executed!

No but i can get radio And listening on radio is awesome!

Your not alone! Biggest game of the year and im stuck following it on my score app ?

I hear ya bill From 18 to 27 or 28 I chased the dollar, chased overtime like tou wouldnt believe, but I was smart about it. I basically bought nothing and invested. My dad told me one thing that always stuck in my head, "if you cant pay for it in cash with one weeks pay, you cant afford it". Now the obvious exceptions are house and vehicle If you read through the thread however, im not chasing money, im trying to work longer. The company im at now can pull out of this mine at anytime. The offering company is there at least a few years And the mine is a 25 min drive from home so I dont need to stay in camp for either job?

Easily the best in hockey. Someone remind what datsick and zetterburgh went in the draft? ???

Yeah thats what my wife though as well??? Dirty HR tactics. Still undecided really but lotsa good posts here to help me ponder it over?

I agree

Your the man!!!

Also new to me. I was told OT doesnt start until 55 hours because its considered"road work" at least at this point. Maybe laws have changed? Or havent??? Last i knew it was anything over 44 hours, anything on weekends, any unscheduled time, and 4 hours for any call in Any insight here? I have the labour laws book bit its tucked away in a box somewhere lol.

^^^ sad but true ?
