Breadth of punishments astounding, labour expert says
Labour scholars were taken aback by AHS penalizing hundreds of workers allegedly involved in the protest. When I first saw the number, it was my jaw hit the desk. That s astounding, said Jason Foster, an associate professor of human resources and labour relations at Athabasca University.
In past wildcat strikes, employers have focused their penalties on a few suspected ringleaders, or on the union representing the workers, he said.
He said AHS doling out hundreds of letters of reprimand is unprecedented. It s not about these 800 workers, he said. I think it s a message being sent to all the other public-sector unions. That, We re not going to tolerate this.
