Big corporations quaking in fear?
 
Unbelievable.
Michelin has gone all out over the years to keep unions out of it's
three tire plants here in Nova Scotia.
Now, our slightly labour friendly New Democratic Party gov't wants to
introduce legislation that will have a 3rd party arbitrate a '1st'
contract when the workers want to unionize. ( only when the two
parties can't come to an agreement)
Michelin had their North American president in yesterday crying about
this new law and suggesting that future investment could dry up.
Kinda makes me ashamed that I just bought 4 new tires from them on
Monday.

Are you dissatisfied with the performance of the tires? They get pretty good ratings. Perhaps they
are trying to maintain a high quality tire at a reasonable price - something difficult to do with a
huge union influence, as our auto manufacturers discovered.

Corporations and corporationists view worker as nothing more than a form
of chattel, and that capital is a more valuable commodity than labor.
Slowly but surely as the rich continue to suck the lifeblood out of the
economy, the workers will realize they outnumber the capitalists and
they're change things.

This isn't about two parties, it's about an employer and a host of
employees. If they can't remain employed on their own merit, and
without the help of a contract, there are plenty more people out there
who would appreciate a job.
