Retro-active Strike
If CUPE local outside workers threaten to strike, you lose a valuable ally in the effort to send your garbage to Michigan. But if CBC employees strike, you lose not only the sound of Andy Barrie coughing you awake in the morning, but also the opportunity to purchase a retro CBC tshirt. That is, if CBC gift shop employees are unionized. We’re not actually sure. The 5,500 unionized workers are voting today on whether to tell their negotiators to strike forth into the higher wage breach. Seems the Union’s main beef is the Corp’s increasing efforts to hire contract workers and short-term labourers. They do not like this. They do like their new shirts. So do we.
