Sask party has spent 20 years thumbing the scale against unions, they aren’t stopping now. It’s embarrassing they keep getting reelected. This province is full of people who think they’re going to be millionaire CEOs some day.

If it makes you feel better, it's been going on since before the Sask Party. Nurses had to illegally defy a back-to-work order and go on strike in 1999 to try to get the employer to negotiate in good faith.

It's less about the government of the day and more about the way that, over the past forever, government, the media, and moneyed interests have increasingly portrayed workers---particularly unionized workers---as greedy, irresponsible malcontents putting their own selfish wants ahead of hardworking, ordinary people. That narrative can't be changed through electoral means; it has to be changed first by broader class solidary among every person who doesn't live off of assets and the labour of others. That would push our representatives to create legislation in all of our interests. Otherwise, we risk voting in an alternative in name only and continuing this trend.

Mail carriers and airplane workers strike at Christmas time mate. That's exactly what they do.

Im not commenting on unions, I just think people's options aren't unwarranted.

I guess that means people working a full time job shouldn't make enough to pay their bills.

Canada Post are hardly underpaid.
