They're going to fold. The ATA is one of the most cowardly, mismanaged unions in Canada. They haven't been bothered to set up even a modest strike fund in the last 25 years since their last major organized action.
That was also the last time the Alberta government threatened use of Article 33, too. They knew what was at stake then, and did nothing to prepare. Stupid.
