Hjalmar Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 This legislation does NOT apply to unions (collective bargaining). Why? Because that is precisely what unions do - fix prices through a cartel. This begs the question - "Why are labour unions exempt?" A law that was passed years ago when popular opinion was on their side. This is now grossly outdated. Labour unions today don't hold the same stature nor respect that they used to have. They have become the largest bane in our society today and this law needs to be repealed. Furthermore we can never compete in a global economy with outdated laws such as this.

RB Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 well more of the blah blah This legislation does NOT apply to unions (collective bargaining) well, it is more of a difficult task to attach union to the charter because "reasonable limits" "demonstratrable justified" means different things to various judges .... for example Dolphine Delivery case, courts held that secondary picketing could be justified under s.1 of the charter by "keeping a labor dispute from having an undue effect on parties not directly involved in it" in these other cases PSAC v. Canada, RWDSC v. Saskatchewan the court held that a guarantee freedom of association s.2(d) does not include a right to bargain or strike what i mean is how far of "right" can we extend the union the thing to realise is that the work environment keeps changing and it will take much years before a body of juispurdence evolves around this charter a debate really about competition trading and protectionism union. it would of course be silly not to realise the gains from trade are real, and larger, trading raises real income and also raises the standard of living with any trading there is job loss, but the loss is usually reconciled in the expanding sectors but can you put a costs figure for unions to operate, then a cost to victims of unemployment when you assess the gains from trade....what did you think? its not that i am pro-union, but unions are clearly a needed service and is part of the industrial relations systems, delete it and you are left with a Dunlop hanging model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
