Is this legal?

Regardless, even if every autoworker that actually votes voted other than conservative, thats only a small percentage of the overall national vote, and likely wouldn't cost the conservatives more than a few seats.

This is why unions are destined for a slow death.
They no longer represent the workers, they have become an unelected opposition party. They should be more concerned that their employers are making products that nobody wants to buy and the fact that they are pricing themselves out of jobs.

Really, why should a guy with grade 10/11/12 screwing bolts on a gas guzzling truck make more than a paramedic or a nurse?

This is the same shit that happened in the UK until Maggie sorted all this crap out.

I agree. Unions themselves should have no say in politics, nor should they try to influence the votes of their members. However, if they want they can spew all the info they want about how much a certain party sucks.

To me, this comes as no surprise. The unions would like to see a socialist goverment (read NDP). Just my Image

Canada's largest private sector union celebrated the end of an era on Saturday as its members said goodbye to long-standing president Buzz Hargrove and unanimously elected Ken Lewenza as his successor.

Lewenza? Is that a new strain of flu?

while I am not 'anti' union it is tactics like this that make me question their validity.

If you want a union fine, just don't FORCE people to join it. Or even if you do, you can't force people to take any action except vote. period.

maybe some of those unions are the reason the auto industry is in the shitter. lets think, high school educated guys making $20 - $30 an hour for attaching components...hum there is your first problem.
