Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said Canada Post and its workers' union are 'still very far apart,' as a nationwide mail strike nears its three-week mark.
Nice out of context quote. He’s not saying the strike is disrespectful, rather than the lack of progress on resolving it.
The full quote isn’t unreasonable:
“The parties are still very far apart, and that is in my view, among other things, highly disrespectful of Canadians who are suffering through this work stoppage, small businesses, people in rural and remote communities who rely on Canada Post’s services and these parties have to knuckle down and get the work done.”
It’s plenty unreasonable because implies that workers who are very clearly underpaid somehow share equal responsibility here, or that they need to cave in because it’s inconveniencing people.
