...empower the Prime Minister to order a cooling-off period when a crippling strike looms. The government also lacks the sophisticated mediation and arbitration machinery that has long been a part of U.S. labor laws. Beyond that, top-ranking union leaders now appear to have relatively little control over an ever more aggressive rank and file. Many public workers declined to return to work even after the official one-day demonstration of strength had ended...

Says Trottier: "If you keep doing the same things, other teams learn how to control you. With different guys, you try different things and when you go back to your regular line, damned if they don't work. A little change now and then gets rid of the moss...
