You keep using that word...

Something AUPE and the picketers keep saying, is that all they want is "respect" and "dignity."  That's all they really want.  It's not about the money.  Or the benefits.  That's just that...

"You animals... you pieces of shit.  How do you live with yourself?"
(picketer yelling at replacement workers)

... well...

"I see you moving in there.  Garbage isn't supposed to move.  You're garbage."
(picketer yelling at replacement workers inside a security vehicle.)

I guess the only acceptable way to shower them with "dignity" and "respect" is to pay them more than SAIL can afford.

Because that makes so much sense.

*derp*

"We cook for them.  We clean for them.  Just let them go into long term care."
(Striking care staff on the picket line, talking about user members.)


"I'm gonna take you out."
(Striking care worker at a non-striking care worker. Image screen captured from Breakfast TV clip of security footage.)

After all the picketers have done to Artspace members - the people they supposedly care so much about - how on Earth do they believe anyone can possibly respect them?

"Why should I care about your son?"

Nope.

Not going to happen.

That boat sailed a long, long time ago.

The picketers are already getting more "respect" than they deserve.  They have shown no dignity, and clearly don't even know what the word even means.
