I saw an article in Mcleans a couple of years ago that showed the rich are getting richer because of the "lack" of unions or at least the strength of unions.
Trucking for example has been taken over by "new Canadians" and there isn't any unions at all because of the under cutting, same with Garbage collection and construction trucking.
I guess since I love to travel I may want the airline industry to follow suit, then again if unskilled people fly aircraft like they drive trucks ...no thanks.
Hey,I get it that unions were a problem in many ways but they also made sure workers were trained and they also made sure fair wages were paid and work wasn't farmed out to scab labor in china..etc.
