I saw an aquitance of mine cutting an unnamed field in Vancouver who is a muni worker in Richmond. He lives in Vancouver and wants his nephews to be able to play soccer and not have to wait for the city and its workers to both pull their heads out of their asses and have a little compromise and get something done. What is wrong in that?
Noone contracted out to do this work. These are people volunteering their own time to make sure they get to enjoy their kids, or their own for matter , joy when they play a little game with their friends. It's not like the city is giving these people an hourly wage to cut it for god's sake.
If the union pickets the fields i think they will have completely lost any sympathy they have with the general public and they should be wary of the position that could put them.
