    Sellout: B.C. Federation of Labour and NDP betrays thousands of workers By Tom Hansen, General Strike News
    If the HEU strike and protest movement had grown they may have become unmanageable. Gordon Campbell may have called a snapped election where the central issue would be: is it labour leaders who runs this province or is it elected government? 

    Such a scenario is a horrifying to the NDP and the Federation, so it was better to cut their losses and gut the strike.
