[news] What Happened to Labour Rights?

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

As governments became more hostile to labour in the 1990s, labour fought back, in part, through the courts. In 1998, a key Supreme Court of Canada decision confirmed...that "employers have a constitutional obligation to recognize and deal with their employees' representatives"...Despite the ruling, and repeated admonishments from the International Labour Organization, of which Canada is a member, Canadian governments, provincial and federal, continue to blatantly violate the laws that say collective bargaining is a human right.
