Apparently in my earlier post I should have quoted Rathji, as my post was intended to be opinion, not fact, just like his was. Now, I happen to believe that it is opinion supported by past precendence and the current circumstances, but it is opinion nonetheless.
Kavy, being anti-union is just as valid a position as being pro-union. Governments and employers get accused of all sorts of shady and downright illegal activities in any strike, but the workers are not all clean and pure at heart as you'd like to believe. Given the timing, it's not unreasonable to believe this act is strike related. Perhaps my use of "no doubt" without the qualifying statement of "in my mind" was in error, but I don't believe it renders my opinion as "######ed".

Why would I be kidding? I think the consensus is that the Union won a pretty much total victory in the negotiated settlement of the strike, and managed to embarrass the government to boot. They more or less got exactly what they were calling for and it does seem a little weird to jump to the conclusion that it's strike-related. Even if you are anti-union, that conclusion doesn't seem very logical.
