I understand that we all have rights, human rights, civil rights, but impaired rights? NO! Unless it's visually or hearing...your drunk ass doesn't deserve rights.
The CUPE Union collective agreements states that there is a principle of innocence...the good ol' innocent until proven guilty. I'm no judge and jury...but I'm pretty sure you don't get arrested, and charged with impaired if you are in fact sober? Therefore, you ARE guilty. So why the suspension with pay? Because the union is there to protect your ass.
We are public servants, there is a certain extra something-something required of us. One...follow the rules. Two...don't do stupid stuff that looks bad on your employer (i.e. the government). Three...as a cop, doesn't serve and protect come into play?
How are you protecting me by being one more drunk idiot on the road? The union protects your rights, but who protects mine? You are a police officer, you broke the law, you could have killed someone, you deserve to be fired.
Perhaps, if we actually started making examples out you douchebags we might just become a better world.
There are cases of child pornography on work computers, and the employee still keeps their job. Why? Unions.
I worked with a guy who literally fell out of his chair multiple times from being so drunk, he's been given a gazillion opportunities to seek help, but didn't, and he still keeps his job. Why? Unions.
There have been cases of complete violence in the workplace, does that guy lose his job?! Nope...he gets transferred to a different department. Out of sight, out of mind....thank you unions, now some other poor souls can deal with it!
Heaven forbid his rights be violated....mine, pfftt...who cares??
Sure, the unions fight for our rights to vacation, sick leave, pay increases. But they also protect the pooch-screwers, criminals, and anyone else who feels above the law. They charge us a fortune, lure us into complacency by making us think we don't have to work hard for our money. They give us the excuse to say "not my job", they cover our asses when we break the rules, and hell....if you are an HRM police officer they pay you while you sit on your ass over the holidays until your court date!!
Don't even get me started on the cabinet ministers....more assholes breaking rules, and thinking the rules don't apply to them.
(Insert additional rant about Mr. Peter Mackay here...as a federal government employee I'm not "allowed" to speak badly about my employer in a public venue so I can't do it myself)
