New research: MB’s burdensome two-step process for union certification leaves workers vulnerable to intimidation; the use of replacement workers needlessly prolongs labour disputes #mbpoli @WabKinew @ndpcaucus @CindyLamoureux_ @WayneEwaskoMLA @MFLabour 1/ policyalternatives.ca/public…

The use of replacement workers clearly prolongs the length of labour disputes by nearly double, according to new research by @CCPAMB. A ban on replacement workers would lead to shorter strikes. Good for workers and our economy. winnipegfreepress.com/breaki…

It's time for the Conservatives to stop treating workers like pawns, let MPs do their jobs, and pass this important legislation. Workers are waiting.  #CDNpoli #SustainableJobs

Great to meet with @WabKinew, along with MB labour colleagues @KevinRebeck and @TanyaPalson. As part of the premier’s transition committee, we're able to bring worker issues forward. It’s refreshing to have a premier who wants to hear a variety of opinions from diverse sectors.

A new report commissioned by @UAPipeTrades shows the value of #union labour compared with non-union labour on #construction projects in the US – but the findings may be applicable to Canada, too. Read the report here: tinyurl.com/5t43sd9e. #skilledtrades
