CTV News reported yesterday that "The Tories released their second policy "white paper" Wednesday that says provincial rules should be changed to block the mandatory paycheque deductions of union dues, and give workers the option of not joining a union in workplaces with collective agreements."
There are over twenty, two zero, right to work states in the United States that, as the Tories freely admit, offer lower-wages and lower-benefits.
How this benefits Ontario workers is beyond me. Sure you save a G a year in union dues but you go from making 25 bills an hour to 10.25.
Interestingly the most successful unions in North America are the sports unions. For example Maurice Richard, the greatest Hab ever, made 18 K in 1960, which is less than 100 K in today's shekels. If he was playing today he would be making a lot more, millions. That is because of the union.
