I’m pretty sure there is a problem in canada with union reps being secretly bought by corporate execs. I’m pointing to at least bcgeu who some years ago investigated themselves then said there was no corruption. The government section involved also self investigated with the same result. None of it made the news and the employees are under oath to never talk to media or post on socials about any aspect of work. The union for the gas company kept telling the workers to accept the agreement because its the best they will get, clearly without effort, and the broke ass workers voted for a shit contract because they would see brief immediate gains which was the bait that worked. meanwhile the port workers toughed it out pretty damn long.
