Governments feel they can assume a Tough bargaining position with their unions sure that the Public will always blame the Union when it goes on strike said Hartman. They Are refusing to bargain in Good she said. As a matter of fact it s not uncommon now for governments to provoke a strike to balance the budget and then put on a show of Riding to the Public s Rescue by forcing the Union Back to work and imposing on it the same inferior wage offer they could t get away with at the bargaining nurses launch new National federation the National federation of nurses unions representing unions containing about nurses across Canada has been formed.
