The government clerks’ strike is a week
old now and they are planning to escalate it.
Many businesses are already feeling the
pinch of no mail and other inconveniences.
Can the clerks be considered an essential
service and be forced back to work?

Today’s question is:

“Should the striking government
clerks be forced back to work?”

Mrs. Yzerman
North Vancouver

This kind of strike is
too destructive to the
country. Everybody is
going to lose. They must
cqme to an agreement as
quickly as possible.

Mrs. Ingram
North Vancouver

1 feel that they should
have the right to stnke,
but I would like to see the
clerks get a reasonable
contract with a built-in
raise every year as soon
as possible. A long.
dragged out stmnke will
benefit no one

Johan McMenamons
North Vancouver

They should be able to

stinke, but the whole
country will suffer of the
stnke drags oon much

longer

airport or customs Their
wages really are bad
They deserve a good raise
and 1 hope the strike 1s
scttled quickly
