Act NOW!
Canada: No back-to-work legislation at Canada Post

Postal workers across Canada could be forced back to work under a proposed law that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is calling unnecessary, unjust, and counterproductive. Minister of Labour Lisa Raitt has served notice of the government's intent to introduce back-to-work legislation.

This legislation is contrary to ILO Conventions and contravenes the fundamental right of all workers to organize and to bargain collectively. It indicates clearly where the new Conservative Party government of Canada intends to take labour relations in that country.

Denis Lemelin, CUPW National President, said 'We never got a chance in this round of bargaining. Canada Post spent months just saying 'no' and misleading the public about our proposals. Now, as we call for a meeting with Canada Post's President, the Harper government is going to rescue him from any responsibility to negotiate realistically with the workers.'

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has been trying to bring proposals to the bargaining table that address health and safety issues around Canada Post’s new sorting machines and delivery methods. It has also offered proposals for innovation and expansion of the public postal service.
Canada Post’s focus on concessions has made it impossible to negotiate. CUPW members are fighting to keep their collective agreement from being eroded and are also resisting wage rollbacks for new hires.

I bet David Cameron and secretly Ed Balls will be cracking one off if this goes ahead in Canada.

What, the Liberal? How on earth is what Cable threatens the working class with, considered Liberal?
Only in Britain, eh?

The withdrawing of labor is one of the fundamental rights that doesn't exist in a dictatorship,
by removing it your one step closer to the loss of free speech , your right to demonstrate and petition government.
