Are they still of any consequence?  Maybe not.  I watched the TV yesterday 
evening.  On the CBC's "Lang and O'leary exchange", arch-capitalist Kevin 
O'Leary referred to unions as "evil" and said they should be abolished.  On 
"Connect with Mark Kelly", a guy held an "On Strike" sign up and asked 
passers-by to tell him what they thought.  A lot of them said that they didn't 
care for unions at all.  Then came the CBC news.  It seemed that Air Canada's 
flight attendants and the airline had reached an agreement -- no strike.  Had 
they not agreed, our government had back to work legislation ready to go.  One 
has to wonder if unions still have any real significance and whether there 
still is a collective bargaining process.
