I'd like to thank them for that. They're trying to protect my safety. It's too bad you can't respect that.

not sure what this little gem is supposed to mean
safety?
|
That's in regards to the fact that they banned access to the website with pictures of scabs on it. They did it to protect my safety. Do you think if my picture was up on a website calling me a scab to the world, my safety wouldn't be in danger? They're actually planning on slapping a lawsuit on the creators of said website for defamation of character, not obeying privacy laws, etc.

So Telus is blocking a site that has pictures of you and your co-workers who've crossed the line? The people who are striking and would (potentially) "attack/harass" you, won't be in the office, thus won't be affected by this blocking..no?
just curious 
|
It's anyone with a Telus IP address that is blocked from the site.... so any customers of Telus. That said, there are ways around it, and I've viewed the site from here at work. They must know that they're about to be sued, as they've taken down the pictures of the 'scabs'.
I'd also just like to point out that a 'scab' is a replacement. I'm not replacing anyone, I'm just doing my job. Therefore, I'm not a scab. [/b][/quote]
Sorry to break into this little love-in but from Dictionary.com it defines a scab as
a] A worker who refuse membership in a labor union.
b] An employee who works while others are on strike; a strikebreaker.
c] A person hired to replace a striking worker.
I'd like to know how anyone can sue someone for defamation of character if in fact you are what they say you are.
It can be argued that you are the one being brainwashed or bought off by your Zippo lighter etc. Perhaps if you respected your fellow workers you wouldn't need to worry about your safety, not that you should need to.
