I wish I was this concise.
The two line summary so far is: it’s been a ballad of incompetence (the mayor) vs. miscalculation (the unions). The result is a race for irrelevance.I heartily concur.

Blog Review
Found this two line summary of Vancouver On Strike on eaves.ca Public Policy, Open Source and Politics.
I wish I was this concise.

Picket Boy,
Your blog is quite interesting. I'm not sure if you have started a blog before, but your content is very good.
I have a question?
If CUPE put the Richmond agreement before it's Vancouver members, a 17.5% wage increase, over 5 years, greater long term benefits and no cuts to any existing benefits ,would the membership vote in favour?
I've never done a blog before. That would explain the different writing styles I've used as this strike has progressed.
As for your question:
"If CUPE put the Richmond agreement before it's Vancouver members, a 17.5% wage increase, over 5 years,
greater long term benefits and no cuts to any existing benefits,would the membership vote in favour?"
I believe there would be a 55-60% approval of such an agreement.
The stumbling block is the unwillingness of both negotiating teams to drop their pet issues and simply let the members vote.
