RSSUnion busting

I am in favor of the idea of labour unions and their goals, while I do admit to being skeptical of what many large unions have become in modern times. However, the Harper governments willingness to force unions back to work seems like it has gone too far.
Any person or group of people should have the right to refuse to work. I don’t think anyone has a great answer for how to deal with strikes on essential services, but taking away the right to strike isn’t it.

Part of the problem is that when unions are strong, politicians must pander to the employees, the voting majority. When unions are weak, politicians pander to employers, who donate more money. The elected politician then proceeds to pay back his supporters by further strengthening their bargaining position, which guarantees his reelection by the same group.
On a different topic, the name of the first supercontinent was Vaalbara, not Pangea.
