Positions of the two sides are irreconcilable without federal government coercion
Earlier this week, Perrin Beatty, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, expressed his exasperation at the federal government’s inaction when he said “the withdrawal of services by our politicians is even more serious than the withdrawal of services by our port workers. Every day, more damage is done. Who will speak for Canada?”
However, nobody could ever accuse O’Regan of being dogmatic about his ideological principles — which, in this case, is just as well. Again, his concern appeared to be the relationship between the two sides, rather than the immense damage the dispute is inflicting on the Canadian economy. “If you look at the history of Canadian governments, I don’t think any other government would have allowed the strike to have continued for this long,” Beatty said. “They would have recognized that the broader public interest required intervention.”Article content
Yet it appears that it is only the threat of wielding a blunt instrument that has delivered the prospect of a deal. He said he sympathizes with workers who “can’t pay their bills” because of government policies. “We want a fair deal that works for both employees and the employer and gets our goods moving again,” he said.
