If an employee wants to do more, all the power too him, a lot of contracts have incentives in place promoting such cases. If someone is slowing down because he's worried what others might think, he should take a second and ask himself what he thinks and stop worrying about others, since he isn't doing anything against his contract or that violates union rules.
Edit: and Alberta can't touch a lot of provinces on a lot of things, employee rights, health care systems, economic stability...

I'm probably passing my experience off as fact. That's fair. But I've seen it in every union I've been involved with. It's fair to say the union doesn't force that to happen, but I think the way things are set up, there's a pretty high probability it'll happen. Also, I should condition that by saying the larger the union is, and the group of workers is, the higher the odds are of this happening. Small groups with good managers will typically produce pretty solid results. Again, that's my experience.
