This intervention, a direction to the Canada Industrial Labour Relations Board (CILRB), requires the two railway companies and the union to enter into binding arbitration and requires workers to go back to work and restart the railway operations.
I’m so glad some unions aren’t allowed to strike, especially when its for safer work conditions. Wouldn’t possibly want those damn plebs to get enough sleep every day when they’re operating a couple million tons of equipment!
It is going to arbitration, which seems like a funny way to resolve it but yeah.
It’s going in forced arbitration. Big difference here.
If both parties agreed to do arbitration, it would be dandy.
But nowadays, the government is eager to shut down any strike with special laws sprinkled with bullshit, and fuck over the workers’ right to strike.
Cue special law in 3… 2… 1…
Government as strike-breaking scabs, imagine that.
Is it possible for the govt to bring in a pro-labour arbitrator and award a shit ton of demands to the workers?
