“Officials say the six workers, laid off Jan. 25, were ordered to leave their buildings immediately. Contrary to regulations, they were not given access to a union representative and the layoffs were not done according to seniority, claim officials.” – Star Phoenix
And after you stop giggling, ask what could they have possibly done to justify an immediate firing and escort out of the building?
AHHH-MEN THAT IS
Having a tough day and need a good laugh. Please tell us what they did!
Following the vote, some of the six workers were overcome with emotion, shedding tears.
Call all you like for that investigation, commies.
I doubt anyone will pick up the phone on that one.
Rafoss, […], was the chair of the union’s local bargaining committee.
I guess the bargaining committee will be sitting on the floor in future then.
Seriously – I didn’t giggle at this layoff of dedicated CUPE staff who diligently work at the human rights commission (one person worked there for 30 years!). No I didn’t even chuckle at their misfortune.
I almost wet myself laughing.
I asked myself, and easily replied: they’re partisan NDP’ers who serve their superfluously legislated purpose — that of enforcing the Sask Human Rights Code — very poorly. Thus their funding was cut.
Bill Rafoss is a partisan left-winger:

Good riddance.
Partisanship isn’t grounds for this type of firing.
So you’re just m=Moist, John? Not Moist??? Oh, well. Me too.
CUPE officials allege political motivations behind the firings
As opposed to the creation of the positions and the related hirings.
Good catch Matt, if it’s valid to hire based on political motivations it’s equally valid to fire on the same principles.
I’ve just read the 2004-05 Annual Report for this Commission (the most recent on their website) and it shows staff # to be 17.8 FTE with an annual cost of $1,112,000 for salaries (of a total operating budget of $1.3 Million). Doing the math… AVERAGE WAGE = $62,471 per year!! I say BRAVO for the layoffs – hoping to see more!
It was probably Involuntary Immobilisation
Beauty: the “sinful” layoffs!
Is bowing down to the Human Rights Commission now eligible for charitable status as a religious institution? Should be, because it is clearly a religous belief for so many in Saskatchewan and, now, sadly Allberta.
From the SP comments – ‘human rights are goung down the toilet…the PC’s are making sure of that with cuts to all social programs…genocide is the word of the day…the poor and the disabled will soon have no where to turn’.
People who have actually experienced genocide should have one free punch / kick at these idiots.
“Playing the world’s smallest violin” about sums it up!
Now it’s time to go and worry about yourselves for awhile instead of the rest of us. Yea, don’t worry we’ll be just fine.
Those who regularly persecuted christians for their beliefs have the gall to use the term ‘sinful’ layoffs? Sheeesh.
With the Saskatchewan unemployment rate at 1.2% I’m sure they have all found new jobs. Every business needs a human-rights specialist to make sure that farmers, roughnecks and miners have the appropriate attitude to trans-gendered, left-handed, albino, drug-using fellow employees, right?
It’s a start. Good ridance. With a little re-training they should qualify as Walmart greeters.
Six is not nearly enough.
What Jimbotasky said.
OK Lance, I give up. What is the answer?
“Partisanship isn’t grounds for this type of firing.

Agreed Lance. Fire them for the useless pieces of socialist scum leeches,public-trough tit feeding,arseholes they are!!!
They just let the low level workers go. Should now target the higher levels, the source of stupid decisions.
Don’t stop there, Mr. Wall. Dismantle the whole human wrongs industry in its entirety, and then take aim at a goodly portion of the rest of the civil service.
“(d) that the positions of Director of Resolutions and Senior Staff Solicitor are provisionally excluded from the bargaining unit pursuant to sections 5(m) and 5.2 of The Trade Union Act, which provisional determination will become final only after the expiry of one year from the date of this Order.” Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission v Canadian Union of Public Employees
Judge Arnot knows how to play the game.
Oh well…
Next obvious step is to close down the shop.
Those that got laid off now fortunately will have real job to go to in the oil business. In that case though the obvious question is, do they have the life skills?
Well anyway, let them have the taste of loss, at least for now.
You can bet some really good cash that these characters will end up in another government job.
It’s the way it wourks.
It’s a job for life, dontcha know!
cuz the CUPE junkies sez so.
That is one scary looking bunch of human wreckage right there.
Those selfish blubbering human haters watching their pig trough $$ vanish – priceless and too funny for words. Poetic Justice.
Is Mr. Moist the one with a tan? All dressed up in blue jeans – how well dressed gument piggies go to work. They look like a clutch of teenagers with old, over made up, haggered mugs.
Keep going Brad, had Ed Stelmach listened to Lindsay Blakett here in AB, and stuffed the stuffy anal leftie HRDC kangaroo courtistas he would still be the big giant head of Alberta. Next Hollywood show is the “Real Girlie Men of Saskatchewans Human rights Commision”
Repeal the enabling legislation, so that genuine human rights can be respected again. Then fire ALL the parasites!
Just look at the photo of these freeloading, socialist, leftists people.
Gosh: I love the Sask Party and Brad Wall. I better give them an extra $1000 this year for a donation.
They should consider themselves lucky to be the first ones to have a shot at finding a REAL job. The others are going to have to settle for making lattes.
