“Of course I would prefer not to have rotating strikes,” he said.
“I would prefer the unions to use a strategy that would not disrupt public services. This is what I think should be appropriate, now they have their own strategies.”
There are several disagreements between the provincial government and unionized workers, including the issue of salaries.
