Oh and governments have regularly legislated changes to union contracts, nothing new there.

I'd rather Notley paid the millions to fight the good fight against a bad contract than lose the Billions to greedy for-profit companies than think they can take the money in the good times and leave the public on the hook for it when things get rough.
There's no good fight here, the NDP did things on the fly without doing any due diligence. And they're following it up with following a course of actions that going to tun this enormous crater that they're creating into a blast pit.

This is compounding a major mistake with a immensely stupid mistake and not thinking of the ramifications.
