So Hard To Believe That Developing Countries Have Strikes Like This.

Having been to Kenya twice and visited their district or community hospitals, I can tell you that a strike like this will be greatly felt by the people. Let's hope and pray it does not last long. Elections in Kenya are still a year away.

Is this the US, Canada, or the UK? NO, this is Kenya's version of Labor-Management Relations.

Ever wonder what happens in developing countries when the government can't afford to pay its employees? Well, this article gives you some good insights. In one sense, it is proof-positive of the progress of a country like Kenya, but on the other it is too bad that they're picking up some of our bad habits. Take a look.

Wait. Is Israel Attacking Iran? Or is the UK and the US?

This story or rumor or whatever it is -- is growing. Even in the liberal mainline media. Here's the latest account from one of Israel's media sources.

As I stop to think about it, I can possibly believe the U.S. is behind this. Obama may be a friend of Islam, but he's no friend of the political entity Iran and the clown that represents it. He has been ridiculed by Iran. He owes them a punch about the potential assassination that did not take place. And so much more.

And lest we forget, he needs to emerge as a leader again before people really start thinking about the GOP alternative as the next President. This may be exactly what he needs -- a strike on Iran because of their nuclear progress (lots of votes here) and partly in support of Israel (more votes here).

And if he can get Cameron of the UK to support him in the little adventure, more votes for not doing it alone.   And of course, there's the economy.  This should get things moving one way or another, but only for those that build and sell arms.  Man, this guy has got it all figured out.

Now, lest you think this all excites me, let me tell you something. It may be the beginning of the end for all of us. And then eternity. I'm okay with that. But it can also turn out to be hell on earth for millions.  And that really bothers and scares me. 

Please stay abreast of the developments and for those of you who pray, pray hard, remembering that it's not Obama or Netanyahu or Ahmidinejad that gets the last word. That comes from God who still remembers we're talking about His People.

This is What Good Govt. Does. Strikes Have Outlived Their Usefulness.

Congratulations to the new "majority" government in Canada that wastes no time signaling its intention in a strike that impacts 100's of 1000's of Canadians, not to mention the economy.

There's never an issue that a mediated solution or final-offer selection arbitration can't solve. In my opinion, strikes have outlived their usefulness when it comes to public or government or national services.

What Happens When Management Doesn't Want To Manage

Why on earth Canada Post has not "locked out" all union members is beyond me.  Instead, they're letting the Union call the shots.  More power to CUPW.  If there's a "gap" in leadership, you can always count on the union to fill it.   Canada Post, where are you?

Instead, it's the Union that has been disrupting the country with its rotating strikes that is considering escalating to a national one -- while Canada Post sits back and twiddles its thumbs trying to figure out what the Union will do next.  Small business is hurt by this; Canada Post costs continue to accumulate during rotating strikes; and the people of the nation don't know whether it's really safe to put a letter in the mailbox or not -- what if there's a nationwide strike tomorrow?

Canadians should be looking now to finding the cheapest alternative method of communications they can and stop depending on Canada Post.  Then we'll see how happy the Union really is.  And by the way, paying everything on-line that you can and receiving direct payments into your account isn't that bad an idea after all, is it?
