Complimentary Agendas
I thought it was interesting that Buzz Hargrove came out publicly and urged Union people to Vote Liberal in ridings where the NDP can't win. This appears to be one further step, between the separation of Union's support of the NDP. Mostly it's to try to stop the conservatives from not only forming a government, but from even being a large opposition. This of course should come as no surprise, as the right wing policies of Stephen Harper, and the conservatives are just about as far away from the "union" ideals as you can get. That's the view from the outside.
If you look deeper though, I’d bet more important things are at play. Union's, {especially the auto workers, which Hargrove is the leader of} are facing some tough times. With the state of the North American Auto business, it probably will only get worse. This appears to be an attempt to put the auto workers, on Mr. Martin’s agenda in the future. You know, the old you wash my back, I’ll wash yours. Wonder if Union will answer the call???
