Some opinions on the Socialist Lemmy communities suggest the union caved, workers lost out and the business won... but I'm not so sure, until we hear an official statement on details, likely after ratification.
What I can and have been saying is it's a W for the Trudeau Liberals and the Minister of Labour, they were the ones who came out most ahead from the strike, negotiations and 11th-hour deal.
The strike vote was 99.24% or something like that. If the deal isn't good even if the negotiating committee is recommending accepting it the membership will vote against it and we'll be back in limbo with potentially more strike action
Absolutely. I'm in solidarity with whatever the workers decide. If they do strike again, and this time the feds come in with a heavy-handed approach, labour needs to get loud everywhere, not just in BC and not just for dockworkers. If this plan they are happy enough with, then striking was worth it, and the bargaining was successful.
It's not a win for one party or another unless and until one party came out on a side ... and lost. Now it's no win;. Just a loss for the halfwits looking to throw shit at the wall and screech when ANYTHING sticks.
When you're party's entire platform is "leading guy bad" your existence is consumed by the act of flinging and screeching.
I mean... Good on Trudeau for navigating this tough situation.
