The Conservative government lost no time in using the lockout as a pretext to directly intervene in the dispute at Canada Post — a dispute that has been provoked by the post office’s demands for sweeping contract concessions...On Tuesday afternoon, the government announced that before the day was out it would formally initiate the 48-hour process to introduce an emergency back-to-work law, illegalizing all job action by postal workers and suspending their collective bargaining rights.
