The rights of labour are deeply embedded in democracy By James Clancy, President National Union of Public and General Employees
The rights of workers to bargain collectively, to strike when necessary and to finance activities by the check-off of dues are the cornerstones of the Canadian labour movement.
These rights are deeply embedded in our democracy. In fact, they are directly related to the constitutional right of freedom of association, which is guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
When governments interfere in collective bargaining by infringing on any of these established rights, they undermine democracy itself, weakening our institutions, damaging our way of life and threatening our future.------------------------------------------- posted 5:30 AM :: reference link ::
