The law requires notification of any Dangerous Goods movements by any form of transport. Port Metro didn't even noticed that they were not receiving notifications until one company noticed fax failures to the known notification number. There could have been a disaster in the port and responders would have no idea what they were facing.

The lies, deceit and corruption are so widespread that you would think that the Liberals would have created a special Ministry of Bullshit just to handle the unmitigated volume and they would have plenty of qualified MLA's to choose from to head the Ministry. I then realized, why would you need a special Minstry when all Liberal MLA's past and present have already done or still do the job and don't have to be paid extra as they do it willingly and the liberals also have the ace in the hole, the MSM mice who do the "dirty deed dirt cheap" of playing the Sgt.

I started working at this facility in 1992, which was then owned and operated by Canada Safeway. It was a warehousing complex that provided grocery products for the Safeway stores in BC. In 1996 we went home from work one day as employees of Canada Safeway only to return the next day to find out that we were now employed by a different company. Apparently Safeway had sold the warehousing and distribution of their products to another entity. We still worked at the same site, with the same equipment and within the same complex. The only change was the name of the company that appeared on our pay stubs. Considering that we were still working in the same facility, owned by Safeway, our union took their concerns to the Labour Relations Board which ultimately ruled that everything was on the up and up. Fast forward to the end of August/early September 2010, and it was announced that Safeway would no longer be using Summit Logistics as their warehousing and distribution in BC. They had opted to move their warehousing and distribution needs to a new company that advertises comparable jobs at approximately one half the rate of pay we were working for. Safeway still owns the land the warehousing complex resided on which I am sure is worth a small fortune and destined to become high density housing.<br /><br />The reason I bring this up is that in the process of all this is that there will be just under 400 workers losing good paying jobs in favour of an unknown number of workers doing the same thing for much less. Even if one assumes that the company getting Safeway's contract employs the same number of people, which is doubtful, they will be paying their employees a good amount less than Safeway/Summit did. I guess, through out all of this, I'm trying to expose the fact that not all jobs are equal, monetarily speaking. The employees of the the company that got Safeway's contract will be considered as fulltime employees as far as statistics are concerned, but they will only be earning half as much salary. Statistics only tell part of the story. The details can quite often put them in a much more useful and enlightening perspective.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-82618257573598459472011-02-05T00:25:37.283-08:002011-02-05T00:25:37.283-08:00Thanks for doing the analysis of BC Ferry debt and...Thanks for doing the analysis of BC Ferry debt and unemployment/employment statistics.
