They should change the constitution to say, “Everyone, except public workers, has the right to strike“.

force them back to work or fire the works. the union is incompetent and useless, canada doesn't support you. gtf back to work or bye.

Steve Who ??? Another of Justin's endless useless toadies. Don't worry Lustin', the adults are arriving and will do what should have been done sometime over the last 8 years.

You guys are full of crap. The fed NDP supported the last confidence vote and parliament is ready to leave for xmas so with a few more weeks closer to pensions the NDP and Liberals will sleep well. There is no story here.

[@arthurkjr]

You realize the Cons and Pierre have pensions, too, or are you too stupid to process that?

[@Jdogspeps]

the fact that they need to mandate them to go back to work, shows how important their work is, and how they're barely getting paid what it is worth to everyone

Low skill work, like very low skill. lol they make what they should. Mail delivery is needed still. But it could be dropped to once a week not Mon through Fri. They should just be happy to still have jobs, many will be looking for new employment soon.

CUPW should never have fought for the cleaners. They have a union already and better benefits than we do. Also fighting for 6 mentally ill employees to get a sex change is absolutely ridiculous.

The typical Canadian voter, right here.
