      <![CDATA[divide & conquer inside the workplace, Veolia has hired mechanics without affirmative action & negotiated a separate contract for each union.... perhaps mechanics were offered a bigger raise? what ever is going on, we need public sector unions across the board, all people deserve living wages & control over their working conditions... distant profiteers, share holders in Veolia must not dictate how our communities get along and afford to live... we have 9 dead firefighters because of the criminal law of Rethuglicans to keep union safety contracts & union safety equipment off the table...
