Canada: Opposition tries to prevent transport wildcat strikes

After a wildcat strike last month Canadian politicians are taking legal steps to limit the right to strike.

Maintenance workers from the CSN union at the Montreal Transport Society (STM) went on strike after management's new four-year contract offer contained a 1 year pay freeze followed by 2% rises in each following year, with inflation this is a estimated wage decrease of 3.6% in real terms*. Workers voted to end the action after a week, but are still refusing the contract offered by management.
