Bravo! It was a long, hard struggle for labour unions to ever be established, given the fact that rich business owners and government colluded against them and hired thugs and killers to beat them up and shut them down, and routinely demonized them as "Communists" in the press.
Meanwhile, the real Communists (in Russia and China) were ruthlessly suppressing any formation of independent unions in their corner of the World through similar vicious tactics. How ironical!
I hope this stupid neoconservative government in BC gets kicked out soon just like its recent counterpart in Ontario did.
Privatization does not increase efficiency or improve service...it simply enriches the rich cronies of those in power and robs the public. And then the prices go way up. Every time.
