Palliser is Manitoba's largest private-sector employer, with over 3,000 workers in Manitoba alone...and more world-wide. It's owners present themselves as reform-minded capitalists who donate profits to good causes. How about the good cause of their own employees? Apparently THAT slipped under their radar.

After laying off hundreds of employees, the owners of Palliser have imposed a different work system that is draining the life blood out of those that remain.

Sweating, piece work, intense speed-up, incentives to cover up injury benefits, lowering of wage ceilings for piece work, etc., etc., these are the realities for Palliser employees.

It takes EIGHT YEARS to get any more than the legal minimum for vacations at Palliser.

It is time to build a union at Palliser!

P.S. Palliser is one of the worst pollutors in Manitoba...and that is saying a lot with the ore extraction and hogwash hog barns poisoning our environment....check out the Environment Canada data. BTW, there used to be a listing of the worst pollutors in Manitoba somewhere on this site...and Palliser was, at one time, the worst. Good corporate citizen indeed.
