The irony in this situation hits home particularly due to the anti-union stance the Windsor Star takes on almost a daily basis. The Windsor Star is a division of Canwest Publishing and it's staff are represented by a union.

I highly doubt it though as that rag of a newspaper seems to have a conflict of interest which would prevent them from openly being pro union.
