| 51 | albertus magnus | Coming from a province of farmers, we all know that "as you sow, so shall you reap". I think our SGEU leadership are sowing some very nasty seeds that will haunt them, and us, and the rest of organized labour in Saskatchewan for a long time to come. And the longer this problem festers, the worse the outcome for everyone, including the CEP 481 staff. |

| 56 | Carol McKnight | I think this is disgusting for a union to LOCK OUT another trade union. I would say that the members running SGEU can and should not call themselves unionists at all. What a message to be sending to the newly elected Saskatchewan Party. What will Bob Bymeon and Barry Noweselsky do when the Saskatchewan Party comes and locks them out the next round of bargaining. Also if any SGEU union member is doing the work of the staff then they should be told that they are scabs. There is no other words to describe that. I only hope that when the Saskatchewan Party locks one of the SGEU sectors out they can find the support from other trade unionists. I know have supported SGEU picket lines in the past at SIAST and the most recent one the correctional centres, but will have a hard time supporting them in the future. Carol McKnight |

| 62 | Judy McKenzie | As a long standing member as well as a honorary life member of SGEU I expect better from my Union. I expect that they would treat their employees with respect and bargain with them in good faith. In addition I find it unbelievable that a Union would even contemplate much less actually lock out its employees. I demand that you return to the bargaining table and negotiate a fair and equitable settlement with your employees. |
| 63 | Melissa Graff | iam an SGEU member iam disgusted that Bob is doing this give your workers what they deserve these are the people that fight for us at the bargaining tables to get us what we deserve Bob now its your turn!!!!! it angers me we are paying union dues and are getting no service!!!!

| 65 | Tom Kehoe | Shame!!!! As a trade unionist I find your actions violate the very heart of trade unionism end the lock out now!!

| 66 | Dave Malka | Although I am not a citizen of Saskatchewan I am very concerned with how the employer is treating it's employees. Especially being that a union is the employeer. |

| 80 | Kathy Abel | What a sad sad day. This shameful behaviour on the part of SGEU is a black eye for the union and a total embarassment for the trade union movement in this province and Canada-wide. What a fine example of how an employer should treat its workers! Is this how SGEU aims to be a trend setter? Bullying is a major public issue in schools and the workplace these days. Well I say: Bully Bob! Bully Bob! Bully Bob! SHAME ON YOU and every one of your executive who initiated this action. Get back to the bargaining table, negotiate a fair settlement, and start to treat your employees with the respect they deserve! |

| 83 | Martha Tracey | I retired from the public service in April 2006, but remain concerned about my former union. Quit making things easier for governments and businesses to mess with their employees! Get back to the bargaining table and deal respectfully with your staff. |

| 97 | Rosalie Ronellenfitsch | CEP 481 were locked out on Nov. 6th, but negotiations do not resume until Dec. 12th. Shouldn't this matter be top priority? |

| 99 | Byron Fleming | The employer seems to be playing Sask. Party politics already! |
| 100 | neil sulkers | ....to all memebers of the SGEU...your Provoncial Council make you all complicit in this action, and you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
This is a black day for the labour movement in this country |
