Here it is again, just in case you overlooked it.

"Geneva, Switzerland - The International Labour Organization has slammed the British Columbia government for trampling the rights of workers guaranteed by the United Nations convention on freedom of association.

The UN convention of the ILO — # 87 - Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize Convention (1948) — was signed by Canada and all 10 provinces in 1972.

It applies to all levels of government within the country.

In uncharacteristically blunt language, the ILO has ruled that the Liberal government of Premier Gordon Campbell repeatedly violated the rights of thousands of provincial employees by refusing to negotiate contracts with their unions, and by using the legislature to arbitrarily enforce its will. "
