They start of talking about a disgruntal husband, coming to the plant and shooting his wife.So now all the doors have to locked. If you know me,I stand up and say to the main man,so what does a locked door have to do with it? If Im going to enter a locked door and Im in a deraged mind,Im going to blow the lock off with a few shot from my shotgun,enter,reload and have my way.He has no sense of humor .Whatever.It,s a fact this could happen.

 

Cant talk about a girl/guy that works with you ,as this is offencive to them if they hear you.Cant even say,he/she needs BO powder.JOKE.

 

Now comes the pics on your tool box. We all know about the sunshine girl thing that went on about 10 years ago.Couldnt post them up anymore. yET STILL,THERE ARE CALANDERS SOLD OF MEN/GALS in skantley clothing.PLEASE.

 

 

I have had ones tell me, they dont like my deer kill pics on my tool box.I can see it coming,but I dare them to say they find this offensive.This is the WAY.

 

 

 

I could go on and on about this Bill 168.

 

I am sure,there are others that can see what Im talking about here.

 

 

 

 

Oh I did say today,I guess the NOYB means now,INOYB.

 

I say MYOB.Dosent concern you, so,GAFY.

 

 

BOTTOMLINE IS,IT,S A SISSYS WORLD NOW IMO.

 

GROW UP KIDDIES.THIS AINT WONDERLAND.

Brian...government policies and procedures have little weight in my world....however...it has long been known that one of the most powerful acts is the Health and Safety Act....MOL decisions have major impacts across the province and have alot of weight, particularly in government run buildings....this is why Bill 168 was created and placed strategically into the HSA under two components WDHP and WVP...It really is a good thing, but like many good things can be abused...but if they can filter out the abuse, it will be a good thing for employers and employees....threats, intimidation, bullying from Manager v Manager, Manager v Employee, Employee v Employee, coworker to coworker, although there were some policies that covered this, by placing this into the H & S Act will certainly carry alot of weight allowing employers able to deal with these occurences efficiently and effectively, resulting in strict discipline to possibly being terminated. We all know that stuff (discipline)rarely happens in a unionized environment, but Bill 168 under the H & S Act will make all employees accountable for their actions.

 

I've seen it already, an incident that occured 3 weeks ago, probably would have been swept under the rug pre Bill 168...however..thanks to Bill 168 and the obligation to notify the JOHSC....7 day suspension....

 

I think we should all look at it as a positive thing, for everyone.

I know what happens to co-workers in these childish little tattle fests that come from abusing the rules. The parking lots get bloody messy.

No different than kids dealing with the tattletale after school.

 

Beyond that, we have sex, porn and smut all over our daily lives in print, images and telemedia, yet we will try to bowdlerize people in the workplace. Talk about asinine.

Brian---History has taught me one thing on this.

 

Give anyone a right to do something (in this place make you take down your sunshine girl)

 

And they will excercise it!!

 

It's a power trip---that tiny bit of authority they'll ever get.

As I get older things at work just roll off me like water off a ducks back. I treat people with respect and do my best to ignore those who are just looking to aggravate me. I am always the first person to change the topic or walk away if someone at work is trash talking something about work. Someone says this is our new policy I give it a listen and after a bit of thought voice my concerns if I have any and then just accept it going forward. It's really that simple.

 

Out of work things are a bit different. But at work I'm getting paid to be productive and do my job. So that's what I do. All the rest is just clutter.

Never forget that no government will ever get credit for addressing a problem unless they give us a concrete solution to see. It really doesn't matter about the viability or practicality of the solution. The important thing is for them to have restrictive measures in place.

 

The fact is that many of our laws really matter only to the law abiding. Those who aren't law abiding could care less about the laws and penalties. It's just one more thing to work around for them. In fact there's some thought out there that tighter regulations simply give the lawless a bigger sandbox in which to play.

Kind of what came to my mind Bruce. Not that it,s the right thing to do,but it will come down to it.You rat someone out that dosent give a rats ass,he/she is going to get even.To me,it,s making it worse.

resulting in strict discipline to possibly being terminated

 

Like Bruce mentioned Marty,thats what could result from this. It,s a double edged blade.

 

As for doing this in a union shop?Rats are dealt with swiftly.
