Labour leaders criticize government intervention By Jeff Rud, Times Colonist
The collective bargaining process in British Columbia is being seriously undermined by a provincial government too eager to intervene in disputes, labour leaders and the opposition charged Monday.
The legislature is reconvening for a special sitting today to push through legislation to end the coastal forest dispute. It's the latest in a string of examples of government wading quickly into fights between employers and employees.
Split appears in IWA ranks By Andrew A. Duffy, Times Colonist
There appears to be a split developing within the ranks of the Industrial Wood and Allied Workers of Canada over the union leadership's handling of the proposed means to end a three-week strike by 10,000 coastal forest workers.
The presidents of two Vancouver Island locals have suggested they were all but blindsided by a decision made by IWA national president Dave Haggard to agree to sit down in mediated talks with Forest Industrial Relations -- the bargaining unit for coastal forest companies -- and if no progress is made, mediator Don Munroe will have the right to impose a decision.------------------------------------------- posted 6:57 AM :: reference link ::
