Bill to ban replacement workers among those held up by Manitoba Opposition delays

The Manitoba government’s legislative agenda, including efforts to ban replacement workers and make it easier to join a union, was pushed back Monday by the Opposition Progressive Conservatives, who stalled proceedings in the chamber.

“This is something that workers have been asking for for decades,” Labour Minister Malaya Marcelino said.But one by one, members of the Tory Opposition rose Monday afternoon on matters of privilege – complaints which allege that a politician’s work is being interfered with and which put a stop to all other proceedings.

Tory education critic Grant Jackson complained that Premier Wab Kinew had called him a “failed political staffer.” Tory interim leader Wayne Ewasko complained that Kinew had accused him of being against transgender people.Some business groups have spoken out against the labour bills. The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce has said the current labour laws are balanced and some of the proposed changes would tilt the playing field unfairly.

“Quebec has had this since the 1970s. B.C. has had this since 1993. The sun will continue to rise and set the day after this legislation is put through.”
