- National Post editorial board: Canada's public service -- can't be fired, can't be satisfied
-
In the Canada where most of us live and work, it’s a time of economic uncertainty and feelings of powerlessness. Everyone -- miners, farmers, factory workers, retail employees, forestry workers, journalists -- is wondering what 2009 will bring, and when the roller-coaster will hit bottom.
But in the other Canada, the Canada of the public-sector worker, it’s a time of exhilarating struggle to consolidate the gains of the past. In Ottawa, for instance, the Amalgamated Transit Union’s local 279 is holding Christmas shoppers hostage and freezing retail traffic during a season that many vendors were counting on to propel them through the tough year ahead.
