The New Year
Happy New Year to all former Genfast Slaves!!!
My wife and I are spending a quiet(broke) New Years at home with our grand-daughter and I realised that I should certainly add a note to the blog `regarding the New Year.
We certainly will remember the year past. Not in a good way for the most part but as I say in my blog profile, Genfast has given me the freedom to move on to something new and I hope, better.
I certainly miss the people if not the company.
This then is my prayer and hope for each of my former co-workers.
That whether you start slow or fast, I hope you each find that slot that you fit perfectly.
I hope that you enter a time in which you add value to others and are valued by others.
I hope you rediscover the passions that filled your early years and find a way to turn them into a life that rewards and nurtures peace in your being.
I hope you are all well and getting better and heading for a fantastic year.
Don't forget to share with us your successes.
Happy New Year

Action Centre Web Site
I received an email from Gibb Love today, asking me to post the Action Centre's web address.
Action Centre
This is a temporary site until a permanent provider is found. Gibb recommends the "barter board".
As some of you know, Gibb was working toward a certificate in web design so if any of you have aspirations toward a presence on the web, why not give Gibb a call?

The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!!!
Heartwarming Article in the Expositor.
I think a nerve was struck, for them to reply to a small demonstration in lil ole Brantford.
They try to put a positive spin on what they do. While they were unhappy with the Brantford Expositor article on Tuesday, they don't offer up anything different then what I said. They just say it differently so it sounds palatable to the general public reading the article.
Here is the link.

Ontario is only one of two provinces (New Brunswick is the other) that has an elect to work clause.

Labour Ready Rally/Brantford Expositor
For those of you out of towners or don't receive a copy of the Brantford Expositor here is a link to their story.
The Photographer who took the photo that is in the Newsprint edition captured the event perfectly, which does not appear in the online version.

NEVER TOO LATE !!!
Hello Dave
Thanks for coming out to the rally regardless of the bad weather. While you missed most of the festivities here is a quick rundown of what happened.
Well we did it again.
A successful rally, with supporters from various community groups managed to come out from winters blizzard and send a Seasons Greetings Messages to the Temporary Staffing Agencies.Also in attendance where a half a dozen former Genfast/Easton Coating employees, some who came in on the off shift of their new jobs, to show support in holding temp agencies accountable for their lack of holiday spirit.
Temporary Employment/Staffing Agencies do not pay stat holiday pay and some of those that do create rules that are below the minimum written in the Employment Standards Act.It was good to see men and women with their holiday festival red hats coming out to support the spirit of giving this Christmas/New Years Holiday.
Meanwhile, Labour Ready, the place we choose to bring our holiday cheer, were overcome by Scrooge like tendencies, heckling and cat calling us as we spoke. Their smiles turned to sneers and jeers when, we said that we hope they aren't engaging in acts that violate the employment standards. While reading various violations, that some temp agencies have been taken to task over, it appears we may have hit a nerve.
All in all a fun time was had by all.
Thanks to those who could come out under such difficult weather circumstances, and thanks to those who support us in the spirit of our actions and goodwill.
Oh Yes, and Dave, With that Red Hat on, I almost mistook you for someone else.... :)
Ho Ho Ho
