Controversy around proposed labour law changes
A major overhaul of Saskatchewan labour laws could be on its way.
Bill 85 aims to combine 12 pieces of legislation into one, causing concern among organized labour.
“It's being rushed, it came in just before Christmas and is going to be a law within five or six months,” said Dolores Douglas, vice-president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).
“There's an advisory board, which is a good first step, but I'm sure there's some overlap and I'm sure theres some things that will be missed, that maybe weren't intended to be missed,” she said.
