Bill * Canada - Anti-replacement worker would upset labour relations balance
" ... a solution in search of a problem"...
Ottawa,ONT,USA -Canadian Transportation & Logistics (Toronto,Ont,CAN), by Adam Ledlow -8 Feb 2007: -- In an appearance before the Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities (HUMA), Canadian Trucking Alliance CEO, David Bradley, said that Bill C-257 – which aims to prohibit the use of replacement workers in federally regulated companies – could unnecessarily disrupt the stability of labour relations balance in the trucking industry... According to Bradley, "While the level of unionization in the trucking industry is relatively low – about 20% of drivers in the for-hire sector versus 32% of the general workforce – the portion of the industry that is unionized is characterized by a stable labour relations climate. From 2000 to 2006, there were only seven work stoppages in trucking companies regulated under the Canada Labour Code, and there were no strikes or lockouts at all in 2004 or 2005. Therefore, from our perspective Bill C-257 is unnecessary – some have called it a solution in search of a problem"...
