I am not an Irving fan, I don't mind saying so. NS Government and Irving are one and the same. If Irving needs the Government gives. Irving Works employees very hard and they don't pay employees what they are worth, even though most of the time the government is paying half the wages, Access to the last of the railways, and woodlands pays cents on the dollar for stumpage. The sawmills sell their lumber to the USA, it's sent on the train, then because the CA $ is worth less than the US $, when Canadian hardware stores buy it back from the US, even Kent ( an Irving company ) are paying far more than any lumber dealer should. In my opinion, Irving is responsible for the cost of lumber, and the fact Irving employees are not paid enough for how hard they work. this company gives away many many prizes for having no lost time accidents, but there are accidents. they are just swept under the rug so that they don't have to pay into workers comp more than needed. Instead, they have free dinners to celebrate lies. This is not an assumption it is fact. I was injured at a sawmill, My injury happened almost 20 years ago, I missed many weeks and months because of the injury, But I was still receiving benefits as a result of no missed time accidents. I kept working for years but eventually, I had to have 2 surgeries, and I haven't been able to work for 11 years now. I want to work, but because I did the job of a crane with my back, that is no longer a possibility. I do have faith in the human body tho, so I will continue to stay positive that I will work doing what I enjoy soon.Anyone else who knows they are doing far too much at work for 1 person, please stop and ask for help. Our bodies will be the most important pieces of machinery we will ever run, parts are hard to find and when something breaks, only time itself can fix it, if it is fixable at all. No matter where you work, that is my advice. I could wish I was In the past and had that advice given to me, but the had without the wishes would fill up much faster.Take care, work safe, and play hard. Stay vigilant, and aware of your surroundings always. M9ney means nothing, the more a person makes the more they spend. A person's body is priceless and life is to live. our loved ones need us, no job, no matter what the pay is worth more to the ones that love us. we are all very important and have our own purpose. In my opinion, if someone doesn't enjoy their job or feels unsafe at their job, i believe it is a sign from God urging us to do what is best for us and the true people in our lives. The people who choose to be in our lives, and those we choose to love, are what the words life, love, and true happiness, mean, and that is what our maker wants for us. I know it's very hard sometimes to land a well-paying job that we enjoy and stay safe, It is possible tho. Anything is possible, when one tries their best, the best results happen. Be happy, and fill the body, brain and Chakra's with pure love, we all deserve it. wishing you all the best, and I pray everyone will get everything they need and nothing they don't. world peace is within reach, we just need to get everyone's attention and then spread love, kindness, and support. Crist consciousness will cure all ailments and make all the people realize that the problems we face, won't be problems when we step around them.If all Maritimers would drive past the Irving big stops, gas bars, circle k's, needs and Sobeys. Also if we bought our hardware needs from our locals like Home Hardware, who treat people and employees the way people should be treated, HH is one of the best Canadian companies I have ever had the pleasure of working and also purchasing building supplies as a contractor. I have never had 1 experience with HH that upset me or made me feel uncomfortable in any way. If anyone reads this till the end, I thank you and appreciate you. I am not usually a review guy, but this topic hits hard. I pray some of my words have helped some
