As even this CBC commentary acknowledges, the passage of Bill 37 and the forcing of striking nurses back to work by the Nova Scotia Government will not remove the factors that led to the confrontation. On the contrary, the intolerable working conditions nurses were challenging will get worse and the degrading of public health care will continue. When the State passes laws like this one, they do not intend to see them defied. Severe penalties will be available to crush such a challenge. I dont presume to say that an illegal strike in the face of Bill 37 was an immediately available option but I do know that, unless we can build a movement that really can empty the workplaces and fill the streets in defiance of legislated strike breaking, we can never mount a winning fight against the destructive austerity agenda.
