Ontario government introduces bill to prevent strike at power utilityThe Ontario government has introduced legislation that would prevent a strike or lockout at one of the province's major power utilities, a move its says is necessary to avoid power outages over the holidays. Nothing like a little fascism to make you feel warm inside. Why doesn't gov'ts both federal and provincial, make striking illegal, ban unions and be done with it? (sarc) Canadians fought hard for these rights, these benefits.. taking them away should be illegal, it forces workers to accept poor working conditions and wages.
