Union claims Stelco abusing workers' rights under bankruptcy protection By KEITH LESLIE, CBC News
Stelco is violating Ontario labour laws and basic human rights by using its court-ordered protection from bankruptcy to lay off injured and older workers, the union representing employees at the Hamilton-based steelmaker charged Friday.
The United Steelworkers of America said Stelco permanently laid off 150 workers, many of them injured and close to retirement, because it could use the federal Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act to ignore seniority provisions in their collective agreements.
"Stelco wants to go under the wild west of CCAA where there are no rules and nothing enforceable," said Rolf Gerstenberger, president of Local 1005 at Hilton Works.------------------------------------------- posted 7:31 AM :: reference link ::
