Most federal labour negotiations are settled without disruption. For the handful that threaten the national public interest, better tools are needed to keep negotiations moving before Canadians bear too much unnecessary cost.

La plupart des négociations de relations de travail dans le secteur fédéral se règlent sans interruption.

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Pour le petit nombre de conflits qui menacent l’intérêt public national, de meilleurs outils sont nécessaires afin de faire progresser les négociations avant que les Canadiens n’en subissent des coûts inutiles et élevés.

@cupenat decision to defy court & government orders in the @AirCanada dispute is a dangerous escalation.

FETCO urges CUPE & the @CanadianLabour to de-escalate and abide by the proper process.

Today, FETCO is urging the Minister of Labour to exercise his authority and immediately intervene to end the current shutdown at Canada's two largest ports. Canadians can no longer afford the devastating impacts of these massive supply chain disruptions.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board has issued a decision to impose final and binding arbitration in the negotiations between CN Rail, CPKC & the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference.

I expect that railway companies and employees will resume operations at the earliest opportunity.

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

@stevenmackinnon congratulations on your appointment as Minister of Labour and Seniors. We look forward to working with you. Our hope is we can reset on meaningful tripartite collaboration, ensuring an equal voice from both unions and employers on federal labour policy.

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Not sure if this was such an “open debate” but a one-sided view of C-58, a piece of legislation passed with no documented evidence presented of how it will improve labour relations. Employers would love to be a part of such important policy development.

[Canada 2020 @Canada2020]

Bill C-58 passed unanimously in June and marked a significant milestone in the progress of workers' rights. What does an anti-scab worker bill tell us about the state of labour in Canada?

Replacement workers will soon be banned (Bill C-58). Remember this day when frequent/longer strikes disrupt services on which you depend daily. Remember no evidence was presented to back this policy. Remember the government said they are doing this because “unions asked for it.”

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

This is a legacy moment indeed. This legislation takes a very stable system of collective bargaining and destabilizes it. We will all remember this moment during future strikes, which will be more plentiful and last longer. A sad day for all those who built the current system.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

We passed a ban on replacement workers last night.

This is one of the most seminal moments in Canadian labour history.

I want to thank all the labour leaders, activists and workers who have worked so hard over decades to finally make this happen.

[Perrin Beatty @PerrinBeatty]

Canada is in the midst of a productivity crisis and we face the threat of labour disruptions in a number of key sectors. Once again our politicians demonstrate that there is no problem too serious or complicated for them to make worse. https://t.co/K0XJY4Xxo5

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Once again we must point out the obvious. A union-led advisory table, with no employer voice, runs completely contrary to meaningful tripartite consultation - to which this government says it is committed under ILO Convention 144.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

Sat down with the Union-Led Advisory Table this morning for an update on their work.

On new jobs in energy.
On automation.
On the care economy.
On retiring with dignity.

Workers have always asked us for a seat at the table. Now they have the table.

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

This bill will have the opposite effect. As the data shows, it will incentivize strike activity and take attention away from the bargaining table where we agree the best deals are made. That means more strikes that last longer. See more at https://t.co/3mfYhdTmM7

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

Replacement workers poison workplaces for generations.

Don't settle labour disputes on the backs of workers.

Settle them at the table. That’s where the best deals are done.

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Why would Bill C-58 banning replacement workers be terrible for Canadians? See here… https://t.co/dwZYcbPTA9

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Our hope remains to bring the federal government back to meaningful tripartite consultation with social partners. https://t.co/MazgxyVBN1

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Yesterday, FETCO filed a formal complaint at the ILO against the Government of Canada for its ongoing lack of commitment to meaningful tripartite consultation. This is not where we want to be. Our objective is to see government return to this approach. https://t.co/tyGSfDKK6N

[FETCO Canada @FETCO_CANADA]

Really suggest you check the facts here. No one gets replaced. What banning temporary replacement workers does, as the evidence proves, is incentivize strike activity. That’s bad for all Canadians. Facts here: https://t.co/tyGSfDKchf
