The Teamsters union protested in Halifax this week against the federal government's decision to impose binding arbitration in a dispute
The protest took place outside a Liberal Party fundraiser in downtown Halifax on Tuesday attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“The message to the government is that they have violated our members’ Charters rights,” Christopher Monette, director of public affairs for Teamsters Canada, told the NB Media Co-op.
He said the Minister’s decision shows private industry that “government will swoop in and save them” in a conflict with labour. CN and CPKC didn’t make anyone available for an interview.
I was kind of expecting them to go wildcat like in Ontario. It worked there, and there’s zero chance the Liberals would want to take heat over sending in the riot police on picket lines.
