Canada’s Liberal government is outlawing the campaign of rotating strikes 50,000 Canada Post workers have mounted since Oct. 22. Like the previous Harper Conservative government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals stand four-square behind government-owned Canada Post and its drive to perpetuate and intensify a brutal, profit-driven work regimen.

Their real wages have been eroded by a succession of concessionary contracts. In addition, young and other low-seniority workers face multi-tier wages and precarious employment.
