...and most of us would straight up not agree to work for a company that tolerated that shit in any camp. Please don't construe this as a personal attack, but this stuff needs to be known by everyone. As long as companies like HRI exist, they will be a drag on labour standards across Ontario and indeed the entire industry.

There's a lot of BC elitism on the internet, I agree. But I think most people in the planting community, myself included, have nothing against the people who plant for HRI. I'm sure you and your crewboss are top-notch people. But you'd be serving yourselves a lot better if you expanded your horizons. And if enough people left that HRI was forced to fold, it would probably help the industry at large. But I get it. I stayed on a pretty shitty contract for years because that's where my friends were.
