    B.C. labour strife focus of global shame for Liberals
    BURNABY – Today marks the end of Phase 1 of an international letter-writing campaign to urge Premier Gordon Campbell to stop violating international labour standards and fundamental human rights.

    The campaign began after a United Nations agency, the International Labour Organization, agreed that six labour laws passed by the B.C. Liberals violate basic protections for working people.

    The U.N. body said the laws imposed and unilaterally altered collective agreements, shredded signed contracts and forced health care workers to end legal job action.
