Question: As the first paragraph starts out, "In 2011, a tense round of collective bargaining began in the city of Toronto. The previous round of bargaining had resulted in a 40-day strike that stopped garbage collection and other public services. This strike became a focal point in the 2010 mayoral election that saw Rob Ford elected... One of his campaign promises was that he would 'contract out' the collection of garbage to a lower-cost private company and fire hundreds of the city's employees currently employed as garbage collectors." In discussion with your peers, reflect on why you think this mattered so much to the public that it was a big part of election campaigning...and what lessons from the class you think are at play here (hint: recall the Law of Work framework in chapter 2, page 21). As always, you do not need to limit yourself to these aspects- feel free to offer any other comments, thoughts, ideas, reactions, etc. that you want to.
