    Ferry crews end strike, premier vows 'never again' Jim Beatty and Jeff Lee, Vancouver Sun
    Campbell did not provide any details of how a law banning future strikes would work.

    'Our goal is to make sure that when the next [labour] agreement runs out we don't face the same circumstance. We'll work with both the company and the union to find solutions on how we can make sure this does not happen again.'

    Although his government is being criticized for imposing an 80-day cooling-off period too quickly -- denying the union the legal right to strike -- Campbell made no apologies.
