Without a right to strike, employers have little reason to bargain in good faith. Weakening workers’ rights means weaker wages, less secure workplaces and less job security. 063
Reposted by Mat CantinPSAC-AFPC @psac-afpc.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Le projet de loi C-39 fera pencher la balance en faveur des employeurs. Sans véritable droit de grève, les employeurs ont peu de raisons de négocier de bonne foi. Affaiblir les droits des travailleurs, c’est affaiblir les salaires, la sécurité au travail et la sécurité d’emploi. 021
