Why the Toronto strike will be a loss for workers
Whether you feel the striking CUPE workers in Toronto are right or not, you have to conclude that the striking workers will lose. No matter what happens in the end, whether they go back voluntarily, are legislated back to work, or strike until their demands are met, the (wo)man on the front lines loses.

Airline Bill of rights
