DO AWAY WITH CLOSED SHOP LEGISLATION

McGoonty should recall the politicians and not table back to work legislation BUT make any legislation that promotes a closed shop null and void and date it 4 weeks ago. A clause should allow workers to withdraw their support for the union and decide whether they will return to work.

Some CUPE members who decided to give up on the strike and return to work were blocked by strikers from entering a city social services office on Attwell Drive.

"They should leave the union," striker Ali Mallah told CTV Toronto on Thursday.

"If they want to cross the line and work for the management and the city while we are in a legal strike, then they should resign their position and apply for managerial position."

The strike, in its 25th day, began on June 22.

City manager Joe Pennachetti said at a news briefing on Wednesday that about 600 members of CUPE have applied to return to work.

not even your beloved Harris protege would be stupid enough to do that.

Political suicide.

McGinty is a protege of Harris?

But putting your lack of knowledge aside the fact is that only approx. 13% of the work force is unionized,

When you look at public sector compared to private sector you find that in the former the stats are approx. 30% compared to approx. 8%.

These are US Labour Dept. stats but I don't think it would be much different in Canada.

Political Suicide? Unlikely!
