TheStar.com - CBC future at risk in labour dispute < 11:27:09 PM>.

Obviously, the implications of the current labour dispute are dangerous for public broadcasting. Alienating the viewers who support it is suicidal. That's why it is disturbing that the CBC management locked out the union at this time. Is this contracting-out issue so important it required the disruption of the entire network? Does management have the right to effectively take the CBC off the air, when the union still want to work?
