Nfld. unions march to legislature to declare death of collective bargaining Yahoo! News, CP
The strikers, in a last-minute bid to re-start contract talks, returned to work last week after 27 days off the job.
Union leaders said the march Tuesday was a symbol for the death of collective bargaining in Newfoundland.
Among the props: a horse-drawn carriage and a black coffin with a white cross on the lid. The coffin was carried up the steps of the legislature and propped up against the front door.
Under Bill 18, workers who fail to return to work face huge fines and even dismissal.
