“I have reasonably regular meetings with people in the premier’s office. This will be a subject for discussion at the next meeting.”

Wouldn't it be absolutely ridiculous to have executives at CAPP, Encana, Cenovus, or any oil and gas CEO's publicly upset at union negotiations and raises? Do they regularly meet with governments to object at public sector wage talks? Have I not noticed this in the past, what am I missing?
The AFL is upset that they can't wring billions of dollars out of the oil companies to hand to their union membership (and leadership). If the AFL is mad, Notley must have actually done something right.
