Union friendly?
Everything that CHC management has done so far shows they are not going to go down without a fight. Reading the CIRB ruling shows they are happy to misrepresent themselves as they attempt to introduce outdated and invalid documentation to try to bolster their weak arguments.
They keep losing and they keep fighting because they are not union friendly and they fear losing total control over their domain. They are setting the tone, rather than trying to work it out, they just want to fight, so they will get the union they deserve.
They could make a strong show of good faith by accepting the CIRB decision since this is not the first round they have lost, but somehow I don't think they are going to start to be "union friendly" any time soon.
Don't expect them to start being nice simply because they lost the latest round, if they sense any chance to delay or deny the inevitable, they will continue to do battle. But how many times do they have to be told that they are wrong?
I imagine there will be a departure or two once the final, final court decision is reached and legal action is threatened for non-compliance. Once they have no legal recourse and the corporate level people realize that any sense of cooperation or goodwill has long disappeared a few people will get a golden parachute and sent on their way.
Speculation? Of course! This is a rumour network!
Union friend? Yeah, right. They will not go down gracefully, that is already clear after reading the 40 some pages of the CIRB ruling and certification documents.
