Pass Me the $700 Screwdriver, Pal

In a move that one media outlet calls "bizarre" and another says is all about "politics," the Ontario government has renewed the contract of the maintenance union that charges exorbitant fees for picayune work (3Gs to install an electrical outlet; $143 bucks to screw in a pencil sharpener, etc.).


With Liberals in charge, Ontario taxpayers get screwed--again

Update: This is the facebook photo of Jimmy Hazel, boss of the maintenance union, looking tanned and relaxed in some unnamed tropical locale. Feel free to draw your own conclusions about him/it.



Update: BCF has a few choice words on the subject.
