Live From China Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 People might find the following interesting: http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.h...a4-20a411de4e71 This is the same government who just voted itself massive pay raises, while at the same time refusing to raise BC's minimum wage. Campbell didn't even have the guts to face the press after this legislation was passed. It seems to me their unmitigated arrogance has turned around to bite them. Quote
Riverwind Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 It seems to me their unmitigated arrogance has turned around to bite them.I have to agree. The previous NDP government tried to screw the taxpayers by signing a sweet heart deal with the unions right before they were booted out of office. The Liberals were justified in rolling back some of the terms of that contract but they did it in a really ham fisted way. If you read the SCC judgement it is clear that the governments unwillingness to engage in good faith negotiations was a big factor in the decision.Unfortunately, this ruling will simply make the government labour unions even more arrogant. I suspect we will hear talk of the notwithstanding clause pretty soon unless the unions are willing to accept that what is done is done and no SCC ruling can change the past.
