I guess relationship building has been totally thrown out the window.
It has become quite clear that this new Gov't has no interest in sharing power with it's workers who are associated with organized labour.

I would guess that they did not realize that the boards of the crowns in Saskatchewan we revered as some of the best in the country. Other companies had not modeled themselves in this fashion because of the archaic mentality of the so called big business. To think how successful can a company actually be when the people doing the work actually have a say on how the work should be done. This government was absolutely correct in the thinking that those who have large sums of money have vastly more knowledge them the individuals who have seen the company from the workers prospective for countless years. Why don't they honestly just say they don't like unions because in they end the result is you can't have slave labour as easily if they are banded together in and organization or union and to them that has a direct effect on the profit margin.
