Canada's largest union is denouncing a statement by Quebec's labour minister, who suggested he might try to bring in legislation to give the province more power to end labour disputes.

We really need a law that if the government intervenes in a strike, all the senior management and board get fired.

Totally agree. If the government needs to step in then senior management is redundant.

It really does seem that the powers that be have forgotten. The right to strike is a compromise with management to avoid damage to company property and intentional sabotage. To quell the anger and violence.

These rights were paid for with blood, and they will be again if needed.

We are angry again. And they’re gonna test us.

Corpos rely on the good will of the worker and consumers to exist but they forgot these ideas.

We are essentially in the stage where every corpo thinks they can push just a bit, extract a little more what are these pedons gonna do, cry to daddy government that provides the muscle to my operations?

But mood is turning as people are tired boss.

But so looting will intensify, ownrr class doesn’t under the concept of NO or CONSENT

‘You can’t all not work!’ is slavery with extra steps.

Absolutely, no exaggeration. If workers don’t have a right to choose not to work over unsafe or unacceptable conditions, they are enslaved. Yet another reason I have no hope in the Liberals. The right to unionize and strike is absolutely fundamental in a free society.

The QC government is the nationalist conservative CAQ, not the Liberals.

There’s a mulling law? But I love mulled wine!
