Unifor is calling for anti-scab legislation in every jurisdiction in Canada. While a federal Liberal – NDP alliance has committed to introducing federal anti-scab legislation by the end of 2023, Unifor wants this legislation sooner.
It’s not about having an agreement with you. It’s about the company and the union having an agreement with each other and the company just trying to discard it to undercut workers’ rights to collectively bargain. The government is just stepping in to force companies to negotiate in good faith rather than exploit workers’ desperation.
I can guarantee you that there are companies that want to hire you for $2 per hour with no overtime and a minimum required schedule of 80 hours per week. The government is “stopping you from working” for them too.
Companies face all sorts of regulations. They are now facing regulation banning them from using scab labour. Making it more difficult for class traitors to undercut working people is an unmitigated good.
Nah, it’s fantastic. Scabs can get fucked.
So somebody I have no agreement with can stop me from working? How is that not messed up?
edit: “Class traitors” fucking commies are so stupid.

Because if you do that, you are a class traitor and you deserve any difficulty coming your way.
