Bill C-58 bans the use of replacement workers in federally regulated sectors, and Bill C-59 introduces game-changing Investment Tax Credits, which contain both prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBill C-59 has the strongest definition of prevailing wage in Canadian labour history, a direct reference to the wages we negotiate through our multi-employer collective agreements,\u201d says Sean Strickland, Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions, \u201call construction workers in Canada will benefit from tying these tax incentives to paying good wages, union wages, to workers building the clean economy of the future. The apprenticeship requirements will also mean more Canadians will have the opportunity to join the skilled trades as we build a net-zero economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions has been advocating for several years for the passage of these important measures, which mirror the United States\u2019 <em>Inflation Reduction Act<\/em> measures, which have created more than 100,000 new jobs and driven a clean economy construction boom in the United States.<\/p>\n\n<p>The passage of C-58 \u2013 An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Industrial Relations Board Regulations, also passed through the House of Commons this week, delivering a historic win for workers in federally regulated sectors by banning the use of replacement workers.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAs unions, we have always strongly advocated for fair collective bargaining processes, and we are pleased to see the government level the playing field by removing unfair practices like using replacement workers when bargaining has broken down and labour action is necessary,\u201d said Strickland, \u201cThese measures will protect the integrity of the bargaining process, incentivize employers to stay at the bargaining table, and reduce the length of strikes when bargaining does break down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>CBTU was glad to be part of the consulting phase on this important legislation, with Executive Director Sean Strickland appearing earlier this year before the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development, and the Status of Persons with Disabilities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions is celebrating significant progress for Canadian skilled trades workers this week as Bills C-58 and C-59 were passed by the House of Commons and head to the Senate.
