There are buildings in Calgary I wouldnt even ride. Being stuck in elevators sucks. Unions provide not only good wages for its members but they also provide good pensions and welfare programs. I know this post isnt to bash unions, but there is benifits of being a union member. I.U.E.C Local 130 Calgary AB

Funny, I havent heard about any major elevator related deaths or incidents in Calgary...

Only a couple deaths that I know of in Calgary in the last 15-20 years, but injuries happen on a daily basis. Usually being hit with doors or tripping when entering. The media won't publish a broken arm or leg because that doesnt interest the public, but I here about them in saftey meetings or union meetings in attempts to prevent these things from happening.
