Labour Federation Raises Concerns Over Bill C-39's Impact on Strike Rights
What happened
Bill C-39 is currently moving through Parliament, a process that has drawn criticism from the labour movement regarding its potential impact on workers' rights. The legislation allows a single minister to end a legal strike if it is determined that the action could 'adversely affect the national interest.' Jessica McCormick, President of the Federation of Labour, has raised concerns about this provision.

McCormick expressed disappointment that Joanne Thompson had not been willing to meet with the Federation of Labour regarding these concerns.
