Major projects bill would put decades of labour stability at risk: union leader - BNN Bloomberg
Original article ↗Key figures
OTTAWA — Proposed amendments to Canada’s labour code outlined in Bill C-39 could put decades of labour stability at risk, Canadian Labour Congress President Bea Bruske told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.
“Bill C-39 doesn’t encourage employers to bargain,” he said.
“It encourages them to lowball workers and wait for the minister to do their dirty work.” Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu defended the legislation at a meeting of the C-39 committee on Monday.
Hajdu said the bill strengthens the right to strike by removing the ability to use Section 107 before a labour disruption.
The Canadian Labour Congress has proposed amendments that would ensure Section 107 does not give the minister the power to end legal strikes.

The 243-page bill seeks to fast-track approvals for major projects, cut their review times and create zones of “national interest” to pre-approve certain types of projects.
The bill also proposes changes to Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to state that a minister can order a business under federal jurisdiction to resume operations, or put parties into binding arbitration.…
