Dear Brenda,<\/p>\n
I have been dismayed over the coverage of the Postal Strike has been.\u00a0 It was predictable that most businesses would cheer the back to work legislation and that labour unions would be angry that labour negotiations have be short-circuited.\u00a0 What has been missing is the actual content of the bill?\u00a0 Does the bill contain arbitration leading to the arbitrator imposing a contract on both parties?\u00a0 Does it provide for any relief for the grievances about workplace safety of Canada Post employees? \u00a0Just what does the bill contain.<\/p>\n
It should be the media not only pointing out what is in the Bill but also where it lacks important protections for both parties.<\/p>\n
The coverage has been limited to interviewing people from opposing points of view and arm chair ‘experts’ talking about the legislation and their opposition or support but absolutely nothing of substance.\u00a0 They have talked extensively on the effect of the rotating strikes. Some news providers have also highlighted some of the grievances of the Postal workers.\u00a0 As yet, I haven’t seen discussion of Canada Post’s behavior as a for profit company.\u00a0 Have they bargained in ‘good faith’?<\/p>\n
To say that I the media new has failed in this instance is being much to gentle.\u00a0 They have betrayed their responsibility of informing the public.<\/p>\n
All the best,<\/p>\n
