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

The 11th hour spin seems kinda silly. Negotiations of all sorts often come down to the wire and many concessions from many sides and are behind closed doors.
And again, this is 15 years ago during the negotiation process that was agreed upon by both sides and has been well established in the industry in Alberta from what I understand. Even if it might have been late in the process, it's been in place and active for more than a decade. It's like trying to retroactively change Gaudreau’s contract in 2031 by complaining that his agent snuck in his modified no trade clause at the "11th hour" to get the deal done back in 2016.
Wait, Alberta governments go back and legislate
retroactively to change previously agreed upon contracts
all the time? Admittedly, I don't follow politics that much but that cannot be true at all?!? Why would anybody ever negotiate with the government of Alberta if that is the case.
