The Labour Movement Is Going Through a Significant Change in the Last One and a Half Years

Pamela Karaman-Welms: Are there any indications as to how long this actually might go on for? That's hard to tell. What's interesting is that when union members voted for the strike, they voted in a very, very overwhelming way where over 90% of public service workers, part of PSAC, voted for a strike. So I think it's some sort of leverage for the union to keep going in the strike. It is the largest strike against a single employer in Canadian history and one of the largest strikes overall in Canada in Canadian history. Inflation has gone down and it's unclear how long this sort of momentum will last.
