Global report criticizes Harper government's attacks on worker & trade union rights
A report released this week in Switzerland by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) says the Harper Government is deeply entrenched in patterns to attack worker rights and that provinces and territories are following suit.
The ITUC released its annual survey of trade union rights at the annual meeting of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and reported on trade union violations throughout the world.
The report provides the most damning analysis ever of the situation in Canada and is critical of the Harper Government's disregard for the freedom of association, despite Supreme Court rulings that make it a cornerstones of industrial relations in the country.
