New bill would ban replacement workers in federal workplaces during strikes, lockouts

The bill, introduced by Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan, would fine companies $100,000 a day for every violation. It would apply to all federal workplaces, including federal Crown corporations, airports, ports and the federal public service.

O'Regan said union leaders have argued for decades that replacement workers undermine the collective bargaining process. "After decades of battle, after decades of fighting, we are finally going to see a government bill that we forced to make happen, that's going to ban scab workers in our country," Singh said.
