So an ex member of a union? Not exactly odd. I take your point that the union didnt *initiate *the recall. They cant, it has to be citizen. But they are obviously fully in support and any time the AFL boss says yes lets bring down this government and wages are on the line in future negotiations, union members are going to listen.

The truly odd part is that when the union's bedmates, the NDP, were in power, teachers got no increase in pay at all, except for the one that had already been passed by the previous conservative government. So Im not sure exactly sure where the unions get the idea that if someone else were in power, they'd be in a better position.
