Laws * Canada - Anti-scab law would shake trucking industry
Ottawa,Ont,CAN -Today's Trucking -1 Feb 2007: -- A labor union-spurred law that makes replacement workers and picket crossing illegal could "unnecessarily disrupt the stability of labor relations balance in the trucking industry," says Canadian Trucking Alliance Chief Executive Officer David Bradley... Speaking before the Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, Bradley said that Bill C-257, which affects federally regulated companies, would easily give organized labor the upper hand during contract negotiations... If passed in its present form, the bill would prevent the use of any replacement worker except for management, during a strike or lockout... Using bargaining union members who wish to work, contractors, and employees of a related company would also be prohibited...
