Hey asshats, remember when this exact thing happened in the US and the result of binding arbitration was that safety was undermined? I’ll bet the people of East Palestine remember.
Let’s not make the same mistakes. Give the teamsters their damned fatigue protections, and pay them a good living wage.
I kinda have to agree with Singh on this one. It’s hard to see this move as anything other than anti-worker
Kinda proves the NDP are the only option for a pro-worker government. The Liberals won’t save us.
Ah, because you’ll be offering workers a fair pay raise? Or because you’re hoping the strike is ruled illegal and the plebs are forced back to work?
No one can force them to work. CUPE called the government bluff in Ontario and they shat their pants. Unless you can rehire the whole org, you can’t do shit and putting people behind bars or bankrupting them is gonna be a terrible idea.
Terrible decision
I would continue to strike
They are actually locked out, not on strike.
They could, but the railway companies would legally be allowed to fire and replace striking employees.
Good luck training 6000 more employees
The railroads would just hire tons of foriegn workers and throw safety out the window to speed up training. And our government would let it happen because it is the “only way” to fix the strike.
They are already doing that, just like every other industry.
Good luck with the next scandal
