Scabs Cause Olympic Cost Overruns

Yep the private sector construction companies and their pals in the Olympic Organizing Committee in their usual Anti-Union enthusiasim for contracting out screwed taxpayers out of millions and probably by the end of it billions since they refused to bargain with the Construction Unions in B.C. They would rather do it their way, cause guess whose gonna pay....you and me. See the bosses like team work only when its on their terms. And so far their non-union labour has NOT been cheaper.

Olympic overrun could have been avoided: unions

B.C.'s construction unions say part of the $110-million Olympic cost overrun could have been avoided if the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) had made them partners in the project. B.C. and Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council spokesperson Wayne Peppard says the 2000 Olympics in Sydney showed how Olympic organizers, labour and industry could work together.
