(Vancouver) Numbers obtained from the BC Ministry of Labour show that sweeping changes to the employment standards system have dramatically undermined the province’s ability to enforce minimum protections for workers.
The season of public sector bargaining is upon us. While the teachers’ strike is over, bargaining now starts in earnest for the vast majority of public sector workers, leaving British Columbians to wonder if there are more labour disruptions to come. The answer will, of course, depend on the negotiating positions of both public sector unions and the provincial government, and the ability of both parties to reach agreement on what are fair and practical pay increases.
Monday, October 17th has been declared International Day for the
Eradication of Poverty by the United Nations. However, anti-poverty
groups and researchers at the University of Regina say Saskatchewan has
lost a significant opportunity to eradicate poverty. Rather than using
larger than expected budget surpluses from oil and gas royalties to
deal with poverty, the province has extensively reduced social
assistance (welfare) benefits.
