回复: 今天谈判再次破裂,工会还在强烈抨击考试中心(SERCO)这是工会最新发布的宣传公告内容,大家可以浏览一下,了解一下来龙去脉。 In 2003 the Conservative government in Ontario privatized driver's license testing centres. In exchange for a mere $114 million dollars, the government awarded Serco DES Inc. (of the UK; that's right, they not only privatized a public service, but they outsourced it to a foreign country) a 10-year exclusive contract to provide driver examination tests such as road tests (both passenger vehicle and transport trucks), vision tests, and written examinations. In the press release issued at the time, then Transportation Minister Norm Sterling said that: "With this transfer, we are committed to reducing test wait times to no more than six weeks everywhere in Ontario," said Sterling. "Customer service will be improved through innovative service delivery and the government will continue to diligently safeguard the public interest."In the same press release, then Finance Minister Janet Ecker said: "Private-sector involvement in driver examination services will bring efficiency to service delivery, savings to taxpayers and will allow government to focus on what matters most to Ontarians - health care, education, the environment, and a climate for job creation."As Serco DES Inc. employees across the province now enter their seventeenth week of strike action, let's examine whether the public interest has been served, and whether this privatization has facilitated a climate for job creation.According to the press release, there were 750 MTO employees at the time of the privatization: Staffing Implications---------------------Approximately 750 permanent and contract MTO employees are affected by the service transfer. Permanent employees may choose to transfer to Serco DES in accordance with their collective agreement. Staff who choose not to transfer will be entitled to severance packages as outlined by their collective agreement.Seven hundred and fifty (750) government employees, most of which were full-time with benefits and pension plans. How many Serco DES employees are currently on strike? Well, after imposing a 15% pay cut and taking away their pensions, Serco DES has whittled down its workforce to about five hundred (500). However, they haven't stopped there. They've turned formerly good jobs into marginal employment: 50% of Serco DES employees are now part-time with no benefits, with no guaranteed number of hours each week, and Serco DES is seeking to convert more employees into part-timers.So out of the original 750 good jobs, 250 have been lost entirely. Of the remaining 500, the company has marginalized 250. That means that only a third of the original jobs remain. So, did the Conservative government succeed in creating a climate for job creation? Clearly not. The privatization of driver testing in Ontario has decimated hundreds of jobs in the province.Which brings us to the public interest. With hundreds of jobs eliminated and marginalized, the province and the communities where these workers work(ed) have seen a decline in tax revenues. Local economies will have seen a decline proportionate to the decline in spending power of these workers. The ripple effects of job loss and job marginalization in communities are widespread. Is that in the public interest? Hardly.The government trumpeted reduced waiting times as a benefit of privatization. Well, due to the shoddy way Serco DES treats its employees, they now have a four month backlog of driver's license tests.Worse, in trying to undermine the union by continuing to offer services by having unqualified managers performing the jobs of driving instructors, Serco DES is creating a burgeoning public safety issue. Striking workers have documented drivers' tests, for transport truck drivers, which have broken just about every rule in the book. Serco DES managers are awarding licences to drive transport trucks based on extremely sub-par drivers' tests which do not meet Ministry of Transportation standards. When one of these improperly tested drivers kills someone on the road, who will be held responsible?So where is the Ministry of Transportation in all of this? When the privatization occurred, it was stated that the Ontario government would: ・ monitor driver exam services to ensure they are delivered fairly and consistently across Ontario;・ continue to establish standards and set policy;・ continue to regulate fees for driver examination services;・ ensure legislative compliance;・ rigorously monitor and audit the new service provider's performance; and apply remedies if contract standards are not met. Where is the rigorous monitoring and auditing? Where are they ensuring legislative compliance? Where are the remedies for failing to meet contract standards? As a public safety nightmare unfolds, as the provision of public services by a private, foreign company completely unravels because of the terrible way they treat their workers, the Ontario government has remained silent on the issue. They have done nothing to address what is clearly a failed experiment in privatization of public services.Serco DES has collected testing fees for hundreds of thousands of backlogged drivers' tests. They're sitting on a massive war chest of taxpayers' money collected for services they haven't delivered. They're using this money to conduct a drawn-out siege against the union rather than returning to the bargaining table in good faith. In addition to enforcing the terms of the contract (which includes penalties for failing to meet service standards), the Ontario government should be seizing these test fee monies and holding them in escrow until service at DriveTest centres resumes.Do you want to help make a difference? Don't cross the picket lines. Tell your 16-year-old that by supporting the striking USW 9511 DriveTest workers, they're fighting for their own future. We need to fight the marginalization of jobs everywhere, else there'll be no decent jobs in the future for today's teenagers who are having to wait to get their first driver's license.Contact Jim Bradley, the Minister of Transportation, and demand that he take action against Serco DES for the deplorable way they've treated their workers and for failing to live up to the terms of their contract.Contact Dalton McGuinty, Ontario's Premier, and tell him what a travesty this experiment in privatization of government services has become.Tell Serco DES that their deplorable treatment of workers is not what Ontario taxpayers signed on for, and that their union-busting "Q&A Regarding Returning to Work During the Strike" is unethical and disgusting. Send a message to their [email protected] address telling them that instead of encouraging workers to betray their union brothers and sisters by becoming scabs, that they should be returning to the bargaining table in good faith, and offering full-time jobs with benefits.How much profit is enough? It's time that Serco DES acknowledged that they've crossed the line between profit-seeking and unethical profiteering at the expense of workers and the public.

内事不决问老婆外事不决问Google回复: 今天谈判再次破裂,工会还在强烈抨击考试中心(SERCO)读完了工会的公告,就一个感觉,原来省政府需要750人来干的活,外包给私人公司竟然只需要1/3的人手? 用工会公告的原文是: So out of the original 750 good jobs, 250 have been lost entirely. Of the remaining 500, the company has marginalized 250. That means that only a third of the original jobs remain. 我觉得真的是应该外包,也幸亏外包了,否则没准现在就1000人在干这个活,你还别以为就不会罢工了,政府工罢工在这里也不稀罕。

回复: 今天谈判再次破裂,工会还在强烈抨击考试中心(SERCO)工会的存在本身没有错,现在加拿大的实际情况是:该保护的低收入工人辛苦劳动反而没有工会。而拿着数倍高工资的还天天想着罢工。
