The following is a column written by .Diane Francis,.eduwr
of the Financial Past (,Scor Media).
The right of government employees to strike must -be
• removed.
. As a teachers' strike looms in Ontario end A-posial stoppage
nait.ionalty, it's time 10 exramine this outdated bed inappropriate
bargaining .weapon.
A strike is desigtled to interrupt the -normal -flow of goods
and WIN ie es that a company produces or -handles. The workers
use the strike:ts.Iheir wain welipun.
•-While.stnikesArelf a in the prisate hector. they are decided-
ly unjust in the-public.sectur. Pubic sector organizations ;re
monopolies And the goods and services interrupted by a strike
are unavailable elsewhere.
in the private sector. • there, is competition, so .workers who
strike risk the possibility their employers allay -permanently
lose business tb rivatsanot-pipguectby A striking workforce.
And monopolies should,eot-be-,pllowed to mike -because of
tlx: damage inflicted on innocent members of • the -public, or
customers.
Take a teachers' .strike. The ripple -effect on the economy.
and on children <s welfare, is wormoits, if net iuc akulable.
Single parents arc -pa rticularly.Mtitl ltit if•tbey work becta►tse
they're forded to hire sotmeoge:to bthySit their youngsters .or
else stay -home from .woe*. Absenere-MAY or shay not:be
acceptable to their employers. They may -have to forego
income during their days off.
Worst of .41, they nanny uot• truce any time off ,orad risk leav-
ing their. children unattended.
So innocent third parties ,are damaged -by a public sector
strike. These people should be able to collect damages from
the teachers awl their unions.
That's only fair.
However, it's. lAttnily.practical, which is why I think monop-
olies and their workers must, in return for die privilege of hav-
ing a monopoly: forfeit the right to strike.
The postal. strike is aeMier case in -point.
Serious financial damage will result from.aa work -stoppage.
despite the use of fauces and electronic cats-irstt;fers anti -pri-
vate .[sector courier services. The publisahing and advertising
industries are profuuudly affected, their,prodocts limbic to get
