    Westray Law

    Protecting Pensions, Bill C228

    Workers Want a Few Words? Call the Police!!!

    Police were called in Edmonton because members showed up to a scheduled meeting... might get asked a tough question or two? May be asked to deal with an issue or two? Take the management approach! Illegally call the police with a seemingly false report!!!

    Senior Check-ins, Everyone Can Agree! Or not.

    Posties checking in on vulnerable Canadians. We are there anyway and several other countries use their postal system to provide their service. So who could be opposed? Turns out a lot of people, and for some good reasons. We review some pros and cons to the plan.
