Bill C-4


Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
 
The Harper Conservative government is once again taking away our members rights and placing their lives in jeopardy.
 
This time they are using the Budget Implementation Bill C-4 to enact drastic changes to:
 
Our Collective Bargaining Rights
The Arbitration System
Fewer Rights for Laid Off Workers
Restrictions to our Grievance Process
Weakening Health and Safety Legislation
Access to filing a Human Rights Complaint
 
Please visit the PSAC page to see the full analysis of how these systems will be changed: http://psacunion.ca/psacs-analysis-budget-implementation-act 
 
The Bill will also affect a workers right to refuse dangerous work, end the role of federal Health and Safety Officers in the investigation process and give employers the power to discipline workers when they invoke the right to refuse dangerous work.
 
Please take the time to send a message stating you are against this change through the Canadian Labour Congress online action here:

In Solidarity,
 
Sharon DeSousa,
PSAC Regional Executive Vice-President - Ontario
