Bill will help reduce government interventions during strikes: Hajdu
OTTAWA - Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu announced that upcoming legislation will help reduce instances of federal government intervention during strikes. During a press conference on Parliament Hill, Hajdu did not provide specifics on the proposed amendments to the Canada Labour Code, but emphasized that governments generally want to avoid interfering in labor disputes.
She stated that it is in the best interest of parties involved to resolve conflicts directly at the negotiating table. The Canada Industrial Relations Board has seen an increase in referring disputes to the federal government. A recent report by Employment and Social Development Canada revealed that employers and unions have contrasting views on the extent of government intervention in labor negotiations.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is currently meeting with his Liberal caucus in Ottawa as Members of Parliament prepare to return to the House of Commons next week.
