Picketing examiner being charged with uttering a death threat

Last week, tensions between picketers and truck-driving students – taking drive tests at a supervisor-staffed site in Lindsay – resulted in a one picketing examiner being charged with uttering a death threat.

The trucking industry has also been hard hit by the strike. Jay Poothappillai, owner of Jay's Professional Truck Training Centre in Scarborough, said he has 40 students waiting for tests. "I don't know why the government isn't doing anything," he said.

His students were the ones blocked from takings tests in Lindsay. "It was a really bad, ugly scene."

The Kawartha Lakes Police Service confirmed one worker was charged with uttering a death threat.

  1. Those selfish drivetest employees dont deserve that crappy job they have. There are tons of people waiting desparately for a job and will gladly take it at a even lower pay!
    Shame on them, there's no justice. Because the real justice is the day they are all fired and replaced by people wanting and willing to work with competency! Yes, thats right. The majority of the public is NOT on your side. Dont like your job? Get a new one, cant? Then stop complaining and get back to work - there's no fucking fairytale job security.
