While not elaborating on the issue, the union said in a statement provided to CBC News that “unpaid work is over.”
Good work.
I wonder how dumb the Liberals are feeling having rushed in so quickly to step on worker’s rights to end a strike that wasn’t going to last all that long anyways, haha. Letting the mask slip for nothing.
Carney firing Hajdu with a reference to this would send the right message and win him major points wirh labour. But it’s probably not gonna happen because he is either aligned with corporate interest (very likely), or has to play being aligned (very unlikey). I guess we’ll see how future labour disputes go.
The strike still might have lasted longer if the government hadn’t gotten involved. The company probably got more interested in negotiating after government intervention was ineffective.
why? it’s clear AC was ignoring the union counting on the gov to whip their slaves… if the gov had stayed out, AC would have had to negotiate for real
I see no logical path were the strike would have lasted longer without the gov putting its boot in it… if anything, it may have been prevented altogether
The company wouldn’t have been relying on government intervention if the Liberals didn’t have such a track record of working against labour rights. If you want fewer strikes and shorter strikes, the government needs to categorically take back to work legislation off the table.
Oh, for sure, the government could have gotten the same result by completely ruling out getting involved, and they would have been left looking a lot better; it’s more likely they would have only said they wouldn’t get involved yet, and then the company would have kept stalling.
I wasn’t saying the government did the right thing, just that the union managed to make the most of the government doing the wrong thing.

This should be an absolute humiliation for Hajdu and Carney, and I hope (but don’t expect) their responses will reflect that.

Putting the boot in is a reflex for them. They know no other way
