Unless there is more here than I've read, I'm not sure how this was a "total victory" for the union.
The two suspended workers are still suspended, the union is out $350k in fines and the government is going after them for $6 million, and all AUPE got was another investigation into the safety of the Edmonton remand centre. It will be interesting to see how AUPE behaves if the next report ends up reading exactly like the last.
