Not saying that we have it worse than some people out there, it's about fairness where you do work. You always say to your clients here, "well it could be worse, you could be working in an Indonesian sweatshop making shoes for a dollar a day" I'm sure they will only have so much sympathy.

In Canada, not only have we not had a raise of any sort in 5 years, we have had our benefits cut and what we have left we copay for, gave back 2 weeks vacation a year, loosened work rules and allowed 2-tier wages in. Just like everyone else, my taxes go up every year, as does my gasoline, gas, hydro, water, etc. etc. etc. We're not looking for the sun and the moon just a little fairness.
