Manitoba has announced plans to introduce laws banning replacement workers and restoring card check certification.
If passed, the laws will make Manitoba the third province in Canada to introduce “anti-scab” legislation, joining B.C. and Quebec which have had such laws for 30 and 45 years, respectively.
“It’s a great day for workers in Manitoba. Premier Kinew’s commitment to workers is evident in the enactment of vital legislation to support them. I applaud Premier Kinew’s efforts to restore the streamlining of unionization and workplace democracy and his focus on promoting fairness at the bargaining table,” said Bea Bruske, CLC president in a statement.
