Nice! I’ll reserve judgement until the legislation is actually tabled. I’m curious how PP will whine about this.
Loudly.
“JuStIn is robbing Canadians of their freedom to work how they want! He’s FoRcInG average hard working Canadians to join collective agreements for higher wages! Guaranteed vacations! What if someone *likes” being exploited!? Who will think of the corporations?" Probably.
The bill would prevent the use of replacement workers in federally regulated workplaces
I get that non-regulated workspaces would see a court challenge but all work is regulated
If they do this right, it will be part of the federal labour code. No province can have labour regulations that are “less than” the federal code. For example, the federal labour code requires 2 weeks paid vacation. No province is permitted to set their own labour code such that it provides for fewer than 2 weeks paid vacation in provincially regulated workplaces. (Technically, vacation pay equivalent to 1/26 annual earnings, including overtime pay).
