Alberta comes under fire for labour laws Canadian Press
Edmonton — A UN-sponsored labour watchdog has scolded the Alberta government for not consulting unions on sweeping changes to health care and depriving some workers of the right to organize.
The International Labour Organization also warned the Tory government that the right to strike should only be removed for workers who truly are essential.
In a report released last week, the organization criticized Bill 27, legislation passed in spring 2003 designed to streamline health-care collective bargaining by changing the mix of unions in the field.
The Bill violates the UN convention on freedom of association by unfairly removed the right of nurse practitioners to form unions, it said.
"Freedom of association should be guaranteed without discrimination of any kind based on occupation.
"All public service employees should be able to establish organizations of their own choosing to further and defend the interest of their members."------------------------------------------- posted 8:18 AM :: reference link ::
