Information sessions garner support for first ever RCMP union
KAMLOOPS — It has been a long-fought battle for the right to collectively bargain with the government.
Since the 1960’s the RCMP has been barred from forming a union and has remained the only police force in Canada with such a restriction.
But last year, The Supreme Court of Canada gave approval for the RCMP to become unionized, and since then national groups have been vying to become that bargaining agent.
