not agree on the price the city should pay the railway for the land.
• In October 2014, the city launched a constitutional challenge against the railway, which
means that the issue will be tied up in court for quite some time.
• The city also applied for permanent injunctions to stop CP from doing any more damage
to the remaining gardens or doing anything further to reactivate the rail line.
• I Jauary 5, the ity lost its id to halt CP’s Arutus orridor pla.
• However, the city launched another lawsuit to have the railway declared abandoned, to
be heard later in 2015.
• Fewer employees in the private sector are unionized, compared with those who work in
the public sector (16.4 vs. 71.4 percent in 2012).
• Does being in a labour union make a difference for optimal wages and benefits?
• On the positive side, by negotiating as a collective, public sector employees, who are
more heavily unionized, are able to earn, on average, roughly 12 percent more than
employees working in the mostly non-unionized private sector.
• Unions also can protect the rights of workers against capricious actions by employers.
• Consider the following example: Lydia criticized the work of five of her co-workers.
