Ontario: Unofficial strike could begin Monday
Public sector workers are set to walk off the job as early as Monday night, an illegal strike that would cripple government services in the province. The action is in response to a Bill which would break up workers' pension schemes.
Strangely from a British point of view, the union the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) seems to be leading the action.
The Canadian Globe and Mail reported:
Sid Ryan, Ontario president of the CUPE, said yesterday that union members at schools could be expected to form picket lines at their buildings. Also affected would be garbage collection, snow removal and access to city hall.
