e-3420 (Employment and labour)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The use of scabs undermines workers’ collective power, unnecessarily prolongs labour disputes, and removes the essential power that the withdrawal of labour is supposed to give workers to help end a dispute, that is, the ability to apply economic pressure;
- The use of scabs contributes to higher-conflict picket lines, jeopardizes workplace safety, de-stabilizes normalized labour relations between workers and their employers and removes the employer inventive to negotiate and settle fair contracts; and
- Strong and fair anti-scab legislation will help lead to shorter labour disputes, safer workplaces, and less hostile picket lines.
