The ongoing B.C. port strike is the labour version of a reality dating show — it’s full of unpredictable twists, hosted by a federal Liberal party that favours sound bites over substance, and one half of the relationship can’t commit.
But it’s far from the only rockier-than-usual labour negotiation we’ve seen as of late. As port workers strike out west, about 3,700 Metro grocery store workers are striking in Ontario, shuttering 27 locations. Manitoba Liquor Mart employees also continue to strike as negotiations have reportedly stalled.
