It's a good illustration though, of why we need unions. There's a good many people in this country who believe that because we have laws to protect workers, and the rather naive belief that employers have somehow "learned their lesson" and wouldn't do such things in Canada, that unions are superfluous.

They can forget that employers, besides being greedy, can be twisted wack jobs, and by virtue of our corrupt political system, have access to changing the law that the rest of us are not permitted.

Isn't it funny how these absurd things happen in female dominated work forces? I'm reminded of a fish packing plant on our east coast that implemented a "no talking" policy. Those women, all they do is gab you know. Not like men. (!?) But this is not the extreme. I believe there was a plant in Vietnam, or if not, some South East Asian country, that required women to work with their mouth's duct taped.
