A day in the life of union-bashing National Post
The drive by the National Post’s Ontario newsroom to unionize raises the question: Don’t they believe their own newspaper? Founder Conrad Black called public sector unions a “blight on our society” and scoffed that his striking Calgary Herald employees were just “trying to swaddle themselves in the clothes of oppressed workers seeking respect for their rights.” That’s how it’s gone pretty much every day in the National Post, under two more owners, since its 1998 launch.
