The piece argues Canada's labor movement is weak and disorganized with over 300,000 unemployed union members and reduced union budgets. It notes a slow economy, employer leverage, and the likelihood wages will lag inflation for 18 to 24 months while unions struggle to press gains.
The article notes that strikes are unlikely to pose a major threat in the coming year. It cites six of eight years where union settlements lagged inflation with pay gains below CPI. It mentions 1984 CPI dipping to 4.4 percent, a low of 3.6 and upcoming U.S. Labor Department data showing reduced working days in Canada, the lowest since 1977.
