In the history of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union (NSTU), there's only been one strike. And it lasted one day. The Stephen McNeil Liberal Government used legislation, known as Bill 75 to impose a four year contract on the workers that froze wages and took away the right to strike. And at the time, the NSTU called it unconstitutional and an affront to good faith collective bargaining. And this week, a Nova Supreme Court Judge agreed. Justice John A. Keith called the law as "punitive" and "vengeful" and was "terribly wrong". Paul Wozney is the president of the NSTU and he's glad to see this decision. But he says in the name of balanced budget and being tough on labour, the former premier kicked the financial responsibility down the road to a future government. And he's hoping the Tim Houston government recalibrates the impact Stephen McNeil's decision truly had on the province's finances and his fiscal record while he was premier.
