What a wonderful way to keep people employed, by pivoting from engines destroying the environment and killing people to, well, exactly the same. It's certainly a win for them, and us to continue being paid to make death machines. Their union is smart to want to get a piece of the military budget pie.

Just like the US, let's have common folks earn a living from making military equipment, and depend on those jobs. Great idea. It's not at all contributing to spending public money on the military instead of useless social programs.

This is the real issue, if I have to read another story like Guardaworld making Alligator Alcatraz I'm going to cut a bitch.

This "union" is beginning to sound more like a fake pig union than a real workers' union. Why not push for life-affirming products like transit vehicles? Absolutely disgusting.

What's wrong with not allowing machinery to be sold off for peanuts and instead continuing to build cars. Maybe that arrow project that was in some news (all Canadian car), is that not a worthwhile project...oh is it too cheap perhaps???
