Dear
Brothers and Sisters;
As you have
heard the Sask. Party is taking a run at ALL Unions, especially the
Construction Unions. We have had labour peace for 17 years with the
current Construction Industry Labour Relations Act (CILRA). Bill 80 is
to amend the CILRA, which can be read in attachment "Consolidation Bill
80". The Bill will move through the regular process and there will be
"consultations" basically public hearings this summer, it is still up in
the air who will receive consultant status. From the propaganda of the
Sask. Party, you will see the process is not a level playing field. The
attachment "CILRA March 10, 2009" gives the Sask. Party's background for
the amendments.
On December
19, 2007 the Sask. Party took AWAY the rights Workers and Unions have
enjoyed since 1944 with the election of the NDP/CCF in Canada.
Bill 5 is
the "Essential Services" Act, this permits employers, including
Government, to unilaterally designate any EMPLOYEE, not the position or
service as essential. This (Bill 5) supersedes all other laws,
collective agreements, court precedents and arbitrations awards. What I
have heard is that the Casino's in Moose Jaw and Regina have been
designated "Essential Services".
Bill 6
amends the "Trade Union Act" which eliminates card certification, it
permits employers to communicate and intimidate during organizing
drives, bargaining and during all aspects of work and Union activity.
The
statement of Claim for Bills 5&6 is viewable on the SFL website at,

Never
Forgive, Never Forget.
