MODERATORS
My workplace went on strike and made national headlines. Within a day of official striking, news media were screaming for back to work legislation.
Just that alone started spooking the heads of our union and shortly after the union and a majority of the members voted 2% increases over 4 years.
Exceptionally below inflation. Over 100,000 employees voluntarily took a massive pay cut just out of fear of being legislated back.
As far as I see it, we no longer have a union.
Canada's PSC and CRA had exactly this happen. Fuck anyone who sides with the employers or the country over a person's right to fair compensation.
