Construction Worker: Employment Insurance

employment insurance: I have worked in construction for 18 years. Cutting employment insurance will drive down wages; being a drifter or economic migrant only makes things worse. , according to Times Colonist.

Eliminating EI will make this anemic contracting recovery even worse. Re: Get out of the way of the labour market, May 7. I have worked on houses in Mexico City for $12 a day. A third of your wage goes to lunch. I think a lot of people like me will never forgive the Liberals for Paul Martins cuts to EI, and perhaps Prime Minister Stephen Harpers cuts to EI will put the Conservatives back into rump-party status.
