I'm sure the people who started this petition believe that they are going to be able to overturn the wishes of the majority, and it was a majority of Union members who voted to withhold their services, but has anyone taken the time to see what the law states with regard to this. Check the Ontario Labour Relations Act, (1995). Those who believe the city simply is able to terminate all or part of the Union's bargaining rights are dreaming. Just for example, under Termination of Bargaining Rights during a labour dispute, nothing can be done for at least six months. At that point it would take forty percent of the entire bargaining unit stating that they wish to decertify. That would get you a supervised vote. It isn't going to happen.
