    Men Who Sleep With Wolves: Conspiracy or Stupidity? ufcw.net MfD
    If you run with a pack of wolves, are you destined to eventually become one yourself?

    If you are a labour leader, can rubbing shoulders with anti-labour corporate gurus affect your perspective or your integrity? Do you start thinking like one of the big boys once you've been hanging out with them long enough? And once you are thinking like them, do you start acting like them?

    These are questions that need to be addressed in relation to the leaders of Canada's mainstream labour movement before they piss away all our money and propel us into a future that resembles the 19th century.

    In 1872 the government of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald introduced the Trade Unions Act. Canada's first piece of pro-worker legislation, the Act recognized that when workers banded together to fight for better conditions, their actions were not to be considered an illegal conspiracy.
