    Remember when striking was totally illegal but workers did it anyway? Yet today they just cry and go home when the state tells them they can’t.

    Why is center-left in quotations? The center-left has always had a threshold on macroeconomic/corporate stability where they switch from pro-labour to union-busting… That’s part of what makes them center-left, especially the more neoliberal elements. Even the NDP has a complex relationship with labour. Part of that is because civil service unions will always be on the opposite side of negotiations from government by definition.
