Ontario government's labour law changes "timid" says UNITE HERE Canada NewsWire
"The labour law changes introduced yesterday bythe Ontario government falls short of what is needed for Ontario's economy," says UNITE HERE Canadian Director Alex Dagg. "These plans are too timid. Much more needs to be done to restore fairness and balance in our laws."
The government proposes to restore the time-honoured practice of "card based certification" only for the construction sector. UNITE HERE believes that all workers in Ontario deserve real rights when making decisions about joining a union. Card-based certification was available under Ontario labour law for decades, through governments from across the political spectrum, until it was removed by the Mike Harris government in 1995. "We are happy for construction workers, but what about employees everywhere else in Ontario? The government's justification for withholding this fundamental right from all other working people in this province is flimsy."------------------------------------------- posted 8:01 AM :: reference link ::
