Another winter storm is hitting southern Saskatchewan and right on cue the
SGEU strike has escalated to include highway workers that are responsible for clearing and salting the highways.
Murray Wood just interviewed Patrick book who has been on the Trans Canada highway since around 6 a.m. this morning and hasn't seen a snow plow yet.
I'm a government employee that belongs to a union, but not the
SGEU, and I do not think these guys should be striking.
In fact if there are any injuries, or loss of life on a particular stretch of highway, those who were scheduled to work in that area should be held personally responsible.

One of the crashes involved a snow plow that was being driven by a manager filling in for picketing union members. It is unknown whether the manager was plowing snow, or driving somewhere to plow when the crash happened. The driver was taken to hospital though as a precautionary measure and later released.
