Time to get political. Gordon Campbell was the 34th Prime Minister of British Columbia from 2001 tp 2011. Unilaterally in his first term, Campbell amended labor agreements that resulted in the privatization of 8000 healthcare jobs -- something that did not go over well with the unions. A strike led to a drawn-out court case that in 2007 that Campbell's actions violated the "good faith" requirements for collective bargaining. On the meanwhile, Campbell imposed a 15% pay cut for health care employees in 2004.
In reaction to Campbell's initial action, the British Columbia Nurses' Union produced this comic book screed against him.
As some political factions in this country appear willing to go to war against the poor and the underrepresented in this country, I thought it would be interesting to take a brief look back to 2002 in British Columbia.
