“Carney is tilting the scales in the favour of employers.” Marty Warren, National Director of USW, is right. Carney talks about protecting workers while his gov’t undermines their bargaining power, weakens their right to strike, and puts corporate interests first. www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

The Carney government is tilting the scales in the favour of employers

He is seeking more ways to intervene in strikes whenever the national economic interest is at stake.

BC brought in a pay transparency law three years ago. It was a start, but it doesn't do anything to close the gap — it just shines a light on it. It's obvious employers won't fix this unless they have to.

In BC, women earn 15 per cent less than men, according to the latest numbers from the provincial government. And the gap's even wider for women and gender-diverse workers who are Indigenous, racialized, newcomers, disabled or 2SLGBTQIA+.

How do we know? Because we've seen it happen over and over around the world. The giant corporations who end up running your airport don't it as a public service — they're aiming to make a profit. So they fire workers. Slash wages for the ones they keep. Hike up prices. And cut services.
