Fourteen weeks and counting...




DriveTest employees Corin Visinski, left, and Doris Price continue to picket outside the Renfrew DriveTest office on Plaunt Street as the labour dispute enters its 14th week




Is it fair for thousands of individuals to be punished for the preference of a mere 590? Over 11 weeks ago, 590 DriveTest employees all over Ontario walked off the job, demanding improved job security. Every day from that point on, 4,000 people have been unable to obtain their licences.
That's not even taking into the account the effect of the strike on the families of those unable to obtain their licences; in total, well over a quarter of a million people have been affected by the selfishness of just over 500 individuals. Students and other people all over the province are all presently unable to obtain their licences, many of them consequently unable to get jobs.
