Unions at Canwest Global Communications (TSX:CGS) newspapers say they are being asked to enter concession talks with the company, which faces a major restructuring effort as it tries to deal with a crushing $3.9 billion debt load.

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. During the past few months,the Star has been publishing stories of an anti-union nature and with Chris Vander Doelen being the usual culprit, I am curious to see if the tone of the stories and editorials will change. 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.
