B.C. employers win legal battle in fight against striking health workers By TIFFANY CRAWFORD, The Globe and Mail
The HEU has refused to budge from what it calls 'protest lines' at hospitals around the province.
Earlier Sunday, a lawyer for the employers, Nazeer Mitha, argued trade unions must not be seen to be above the law and cannot choose which laws to obey.
'Civil disobedience is not a defence to be in contempt of court,' he said in B.C. Supreme Court.
Despite the board's ruling and the back-to-work legislation, workers spent the weekend on the picket lines.
The employers' submissions suggested the union pay fines of $430,000 per day for its conduct.------------------------------------------- posted 6:39 AM :: reference link ::
