'Friendly Disrespect' for Market It's been refreshing to see the General Motors workers in Oshawa refusing to submit passively to the dictates of the market. We've been taught that the market knows best. So workers are supposed to simply accept that market conditions have dictated the closure of their plant, eliminating 2,600 jobs. (The company's signed commitment to keep the Oshawa truck plant operating is supposed to count for nothing, when the market speaks.) Some 180,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Canada in the past two years while the federal government stood by doing nothing.
