Listen "Inflation and Public Sector Unions"
Episode Synopsis
As with all things, we look to take a balanced and fair look at any issue in exploring both sides. This episode is no different as we take on the heavy task of analyzing the public sector unrest here in Alberta. Many of the issues in Alberta are also being seen across Canada. We explore also the big issue here in Alberta as just this past week, teachers were ordered back to work after 3 weeks of striking by the Government of Alberta with the use of the Notwithstanding Clause within the constitution. It was only right that we start with looking at inflation and what causes it, as that is a major factor into why unions are fighting so hard for, among other things, higher wages. We move into the public sector union unrest and then of course discuss in particular the interaction between the Alberta Teachers Association and the Government of Alberta. As part of this we explore a bit about what the Notwithstanding Clause is and what its consequences are in this instance. We hope you find this informative and enlightening as we dive into this hot topic.
