Looks like the BC Ferries strike is over. It’s gone to binding arbitration. Great. However, this leaves the possibility of the whole thing happening again the next time the two sides need to negotiate a new collective agreement. The way unions seem to be set up now, nothing will ever be enough and people won’t be happy until they can have 364 days of paid vacation and 1 sick day a year.
Too bad it didn’t play out in court. The issues in this strike had nothing to do with the people who were seriously affected by it and I think the lawyer who was threatening a class action suit should follow through anyway. If this company and it’s union don’t get spanked over this one it will happen again for sure.
