Either way, it's shady and if his argument is truly "its' about the money" they should have been included. The firefighters I know wouldn't let a building burn because of a strike, that's just the antithesis of their jobs. If he knew that workers would strike because of the measures perhaps he should have negotiated longer - last article I read indicated they were negotiating when he pulled the rug out and put this bill forward, I don't know what was on the table then though.

AFAIK most, if not all, unionized emergency responders aren't allowed to strike.
