The mood on the shop floor is getting militant: union chief By DEIRDRE McMURDY, CanWest
Veteran union leader Buzz Hargrove admits that even he's been surprised.
After several years of relatively peaceful labour relations in Canada, organized workers - many of them members of Hargrove's expansionist Canadian Autoworkers Union - have either gone on strike or engaged in bitter negotiations with their employers.
"There's a very militant grassroots mood out there," Hargrove says. "Even in cases like the CN strike, where our bargaining committee unanimously recommended settlement, members rejected that."------------------------------------------- posted 11:20 AM :: reference link ::
