Let it snow

Government snow plow operators in Saskatchewn have joined the public sector general strike in that province, which aloso sees jail guards and envrironmental workers on the picket line. 131 workers, members of the Saskatchewn Government and General Employees Union, have hit the line to protest the break in negotations and the issues that the government has thus far been unwilling to resolve. These includes wages, contracting out, pension and health plan improvements.

Thanks to Saskatchewan's NDP government- a majority held by Premier Lorne Calvert- there is no anti-scab legislation available to workers. Mounties are currently supervising provincial jails. There is no word whether or not management or other scabs will be running plows.

The forecast does, in fact, call for snow.
