Visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of wildlife in Canada's national parks this weekend could instead be confronted with picket lines or other labour disruptions. Parks Canada workers will be in a legal strike position after midnight Thursday night. The Public Service Alliance of Canada - the union representing 4,800 parks employees - and government negotiators are meeting Wednesday and Thursday in a last attempt to salvage a contract agreement.
