Школа. Для комунизднутых комуниздеров (Safety - наше фсё!)

[Петрович]

Был как-то топик насчет юнионов - что такое и с чем едят.

Извольте :
вот вам вполне ещё свежий вагон трупов за юнионскую идею высосанную в качестве повода для забастовки (повод --> safety was down --> strike --> strikebreakers --> only intended to frighten the replacement workers --> Canada's worse mass murders by a union/member --> все свободны ! Вас простят.

Кстати, две фамилии из девяти убитых ради чьей-то идеи, звучат вполне по-славянски.
Не исключено, что недавние на 1992-й год иммигранты, у которых была нужда семью кормить и счета платить, а не сладкой жизни ради.

LITIGATION - After 16 years, the Supreme Court of Canada has brought to an end the C$10.7 million wrongful death suit by widows and families of nine miners who were killed during the bombing of the Giant Mine near Yellowknife during a bitter labor dispute.
Canada's high court concurred with an appellant court decision, which ruled Pinkerton's of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers of Canada union were not negligent in the case of one of Canada's worse mass murders.

Roger Warren (born December 17, 1943), a striking miner at the time, was convicted of the murders, which resulted when a rail car transporting mine replacement workers hit a trip wire the morning of Sept. 18, 1992, setting off the explosion that killed the miners. Warren said he only intended to frighten the replacement workers and cause those in charge to force them out of the mine, bringing operations to a halt and bringing the 18-month-old strike to an end. Miners Vern Fullowka, Norm Hourie, Chris Neil, Joe Pandev, Shane Riggs, Robert Rowsell, Arnold Russell, Malcolm Sawler and Dave Vodnoski were killed in the explosion.
Royal Oak bought the Giant Mine in 1990 when the price of gold had dropped below mining costs, and slashed costs and boosted production, but the union complained that mine safety was compromised in the process. The union had planned to strike on May 23, 1992, but Royal Oak management had locked them out a day before. The strike lasted 18 months. The Giant Mine ceased operating in 2004. Surviving family members of the murder victims sued Pinkerton's of Canada, which had been hired to protect property and miners, and the territorial government for not closing the mine, in spite of clear knowledge of the dangerous situation.
The survivors also filed a claim against union officials and members of the local union for failing to control Warren and for inciting him. They contended that the replacement miners had "reasonably relied on Pinkerton's to take reasonable precautions to reduce the risk and Pinkerton's must have shared the miners' expectation for safety.
However, Canada's high court found the miners were aware that they faced risk and decided to accept it.
The justices also found Pinkerton's and the Territorial Government had met the requisite standard of care. The court also found the government took reasonable care in deciding not to close the mine.
The Supreme Court also found that the national office of the union "cannot be found to have incited Mr. Warren' since the national and local unions are separate legal entities.
The unanimous decision ends the 16-year legal battle and terminates a C$10.7 million wrongful death suit.
The lawyer for the miners' families said many of the widows are "just devastated by this decision."
