PM PM says he doesn't cross picket lines, and wouldn't do so if CBC sets up one at GG-designate Michaelle Jean's forthcoming swearing-in.
An excerpt from the globeandmail.com story:
"I don't cross picket lines," Mr. Martin, speaking to reporters at a United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, said Thursday after rumours that the Canadian Media Guild is not ruling out setting up pickets outside the official ceremonies in Ottawa.
The Prime Minister said he wants to see the issue settled as quickly as possible.
"As far as the involvement, this is an ongoing labour negotiation. Obviously we would like to see it settled. We'd like to see it settled as quickly as possible, and we would encourage the parties to come together and to find a settlement and get back to work."
