  1. That this timeline goes right to the beginning of #truckersforcovid, when it was still a #coopstrike reactionary group - but doesn't quite mention this

    this goes right to the very beginning of the ahcsu timeline for much the same reasons

  2. nevermind the right to repair stuff

    when the #yxe #coopstrike was on, john deere was right next door to the coop

    and would not let the strikers and their supporters warm up inside, or use their washrooms.

    they could have more support from coop workers than they probably are going to get
  3. > Here's one Union member's perspective:
    "After 6 and a half months [of the lockout] the inevitable question will
    be: who won? The answer is, of course, nobody. The union didn't win.
    Though we preserved our pension, we took fairly deep cuts to our
    paycheques. The company didn't win. They appeared to be trying to break
    our union and they failed. In the attempt, they spent a ridiculous
    amount of money and dragged their reputation through the mud. The local
    businesses didn't win. On top of COVID, they dealt with reduced spending
    from 730 local families. The province didn't win. Tax money normally
    paid by our members will be going back to Ontario with the scabs. The
    truckers and the police were certainly no fans of the lockout. I'm sure
    they had better things to do with their time than get caught in the
    middle. All for something that I still truly believe didn't need to
    happen."

  4. What happened to the right wing / sask party complaining that it's the left that has 'tall daisy syndrome' - where it was supposedly the left who looked down on people for being successful?

    Suddenly it's 'you should be lucky to have a job at all', and resentment of successful collective bargaining by the right. That is *exactly* what Brad Wall saw as wrong with saskatchewan, and why so many people took him seriously when he swept his way into power. #coopstrike
