Last week the federal government introduced a new piece of legislation, C-58, which is aimed at banning the practice of employers bringing in replacement workers during a contract dispute.

Experts say the legislation is the culmination of decades of work by the labour movement in Canada, while it also represents the fulfilment of a key demand in the Liberal-NDP confidence and supply agreement.

    Anyone want to take bets on how quickly this will be reversed once the CPCs have a majority? The conservatives hate unions and love replacing Canadians with foreign workers while virtue signaling to “old stock” folks.

    Thanks for the electoral reform Trudeau, I’m glad that it will serve you well in the coming election.

      It had language built into it that allows them to keep it in place. They can just stock the board that oversees the scabbing with their buddies.

      Exactly like how Harper fucked up the oil and gas industry oversight board by firing all of the scientists and replacing them with oil industry lobbyists.
