This information is misleading and inaccurate based on the NWT Supreme Court decision was overturned by the NWT Court of Appeal in 2008 NWTCA 04, which has been heard but a decision not rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada. Canadian Copy Editor (talk) 04:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I added some treatment about subsequent decisions to more properly reflect current events Canadian Copy Editor (talk) 05:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I prefer to use the term "replacement workers" over "strikebreakers" as the latter has a negative connotation to it (as recognized by [LabourWatch.com]. In addition, the Courts prefer the use of the term "replacement worker" as evidenced by Fullowka v. Royal OAk Ventures Inc. (2008 NWTCA). Canadian Copy Editor (talk) 05:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's still a corporatism, i.e. a euphemism and strikebreaker is the most common usage; ("scab" is the truly negative term); language preferred by the courts is not most common usage....note my inline comment about the riot squad of 300 Pinkerton's that led an assault on the mine, that should be in here, must be press copy online about it somewhere; I remember watching the footage clear as a bell.Skookum1 (talk) 12:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
