Kids at 12 years of age have always been allowed to work, why do i need to address that, what was changed in 2005 was their ablity to work in restraunts. It has always and will always require parental consent.

And to work in bars? The Tories were going to allow that too until the hue and cry went up.

They still can work in the kitchen of pub. They were never allowed to do anything with alcohol. Do you understand the legislation before you faint outrage and post on it. And what was ment by it was places like Boston Pizza, and other such establishements.

Actually, the restaurant people were under the impression that meant all bars and had been told that.

Windsor auto workers seize shuttered plant

- cbc

CALGARY (CBC) - A group of disgruntled workers at a recently closed auto parts supply company in Windsor, Ont. have taken over the plant.

In the latest bizarre twist in a saga that has been brewing since two auto plants in the area shut down early last week, about a dozen workers occupied the Aradco plant Tuesday night. They have welded the doors shut from the inside and say they will not leave until they get what they are owed.

Work at the Aradco plant stopped last week because of a dispute between the plant owners and Chrysler, which has mused publicly about pulling out of its Canadian operations unless unionized workers make substantial concessions.

The Canadian Auto Workers Union that represents the Aradco workers say that in the wake of the shutdown, the workers are owed money for severance pay, vacation pay, and termination pay totalling $1.7 million.

The plant's owner, Catalina Precision Products Ltd. has offered the workers four weeks of severance pay or about $200,000 in total for all 80 workers.

The plant builds parts for Chrysler. Since last week, Chrysler has been trying to go in and collect parts and tools it says are its, but the workers are not allowing it. They have been blocking trucks from coming on to the property. Union representatives say the workers fear that if the tools and parts are removed, they will have no negotiating power.

"Some of the workers here have decided to take over the plant. That's the only thing they have in order to try to get the monies that are owing to them," said Gerry Farnham, president of the CAW local representing the workers.

An example of union extortion and their disregard for the law.

They are owed money and are protecting the assets for that money. If the company cuts and runs sells all the assets and doesn't pay them like in Nackawick they are screwed. So you take the plant with all the assets and say we will let these out of our sight when we are paid.

It is illegle for them to seize property.

But does that make it wrong that is my question? Let's talk Nackawick, the paper mill went under. They sold off the assets under a different company and the people who worked there and paid into the pension didn't get a dime of it. They got nothing becuase the company declared bankruptcy. So it doesn't seem wrong to me to go into that factory and protect what is left of the liquid assets until you are paid otherwise even though you are owed the money and you worked there and paid into pension and so on you are going to get nothing. IS IT WRONG?

No...it it is not wrong, but it is illegal. If you owe a creditor, should they occupy your house ?

Economics trumps Virtue.

No often they just kick you out of your house and sell it someone else. These people don't have that option because by the time the litigation goes through they have already stripped out all the assets of the factories.

They have no right plain and simple. I have no intrest in your street justice.

No they don't and you know it.....there is a lien or collections process to follow, or in th case of a bank, foreclosure.
