Although I railed against the leadership of the NHLPA in the last CBA dispute, I was NOT one of those people on this board railing against unions in general.
And for the record, I also don't have much sympathy for the Telus and CBC unions right now.
But . . . . I think there are good, pro-active unions which work well with management and work places where workers should organize.
The dispute in Brooks seems a pretty obvious example of a work place that would benefit from union organization. . . . . and the reason for that is horribly short-sighted management.
Bad management causes strong unions . . . . . just as a strong union will eventually create stronger management. The never-ending dance.
Right now, it seems to me the management in Brooks is practically begging their workers to organize by their terrible management skills.
