Manitoba labor code bills spark wide debate in legislature
The Manitoba Legislature considers three bills extending the right to strike to police and Crown employees, mandating union dues deductions, limiting government bargaining interference, and broadening coverage to technological changes and equal pay. A separate Bill No. 93 revamps the Clean Environment Act with stiffer penalties and cabinet power to revise licenses. Opposition voices call the measures drastic while labor leaders claim long-term organizing gains.
