Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (replacement workers)
This enactment amends the Canada Labour Code to provide that, during a strike or lockout, an employer cannot use the services of any person who performs management functions or who is employed in a confidential capacity in matters related to industrial relations in another workplace to perform the duties of an employee who is in the bargaining unit on strike or locked out.
Bill C-284 proposes to change the Canada Labour Code to prevent employers from using replacement workers during a strike or lockout. Specifically, it aims to stop employers from hiring individuals who have management responsibilities or are involved in confidential industrial relations matters at another workplace to fill the roles of striking or locked-out employees. This bill affects unionized workers in federally regulated industries and their employers, aiming to strengthen the bargaining power of employees during labour disputes.
