AUPE and province reach deal to end wildcat strike
The underlying problem of Lukaszuk an industry crony Employment and Immigration(now Human Services)
minister overlooking the Workers Compensation Board of Alberta persists.
Thomas’s greatest achievement in the Labor and Employment portfolio was to announce EVERY year,
even during the worst Recession years in my lifetime, that;
Alberta needed
ANOTHER 70,000 Temporary foreign workers! EVERY YEAR!
Now he heads the AB Government. This man was still listed as
an executive of his Injured Workers Advocate business for months after he took
the Employment portfolio. This crisis is further compounded by the fact that the
Justice Minister at the time of the Patrick Clayton hostage crisis was Alison
Redford. 600 Government workers flee into the streets and the Justice Minister order NO Investigation? WTH? Injured worker Penny Caron's husband Rick was very careful to make
sure that all of her documents were sworn by a commissioner of oaths so that
WCB Alberta and the Justice Department could not arbitrarily delete these files
as official sworn documents. Unless they break the law, but hey why stop now.(sic)
When Rick dropped the evidence of document tampering within the Workers
Compensation Appeals Commission on the desk of now Premier Alison Redford desk
and asked that the then Minister of Justice investigate given the undeniable proof
that she was given. Alison Redford returned a hand signed letter that I
personally held in my hand in Rick and Penny's kitchen, that read, "There
is NO evidence." So, given the fact that both of these senior government
officials seem to have an extreme prejudice against injured workers and their
families, how is it possible that they would give the Jail Guards any kind of
due diligence or proper investigation of serious underlying safety issues
within the largest Jail-house in Canada? Why do you think that the Premier was
so hands off on this issue? She knows that if the strike were to drag on these
ugly buried transgressions would ultimately come oozing out onto the National
stage. Tommy Gunn
Lukaszuk routinely ignored blatant safety issues across the province of Alberta
in his previous role as Minister of Labor directly responsible for the safety
of workers via the Workers Compation Board of Alberta. Thomas Lukaszuk is
accustomed to having a cavalier approach to safety during his tenure in charge
of the WCB AB, by forewarning contractors of inspections. Thomas Lukaszuk is
the "Perfect" hatchet man given that he is already routinely
accustomed to crushing any uprisings by injured workers or their families. This government has played Pol Pot for far too long. These blatant abuses of senior public
office are routine in Hellberta. It is NO surprise to see him seething with
revulsion towards Prison Guards, Enraged that ANY worker would defy the Hand of
GOD almighty (Tommy Gunn)
Lukaszuk!
This is worse than a
bad Rocky movie with all of the actors being Alberta Rednecks, pathetic
performance by senior government officials. I already disliked most lawyers,
and it is NO ACCIDENT that Ms. Redford is keeping the legend of the most
despised profession on earth alive for a reason. There is not one brave
Albertan with power or the guts to take on ALL of the corruption that
goes on in Alberta. Because of 40 years of corrupt behavior of the PC
government, Albertans HAVE NO POWER!
All of these facts are easily verifiable because of the diligence of Rick Caron. Rick believed that if he took his carefully documented proof to the Justice Minister of Alberta that she would take action. Remember this when YOU seek Justice in Alberta. As Martin Niemöller famously said, "First they came for the Socialists"
This government has thumbed it's nose at Workplace Safety for decades now, nothing ever changes in 1953 Hellberta because our government NEVER changes!
