According to brian Tobin writing in this AM's G&M Quebec is at the forefront of reducing the role unions play in the public service. Hope the government wins big time. </font>
BC is heading in a similar direction. BC Ferries workers ( use the word "worker" loosely) are on an illegal strike. Hopefully BC Ferries will fire them all, invite them to re-apply for their jobs, weed out the lazy trash, hire the good workers, pay them a reasonable wage. The cleaners and food serive cashiers make $17-21 per hour, something very wrong with that picture.
Our provincial government has a very strong mandate from the electorate, to clean house once and for all.
