CAPE receives NDP commitment to repeal anti-union bills C-525 and C-377

In his letter of May 6 to CAPE President Emmanuelle Tremblay, New Democratic Party of Canada Leader Tom Mulcair stated that an NDP government would repeal Bill C-525 on union representation and Bill C-377 concerning the “transparency” of labour organizations.

Furthermore, the Leader of the NDP indicated that his party would also repeal the changes made to the Public Service Labour Relations Act when the Conservative government passed Bill C‑4 which infringes on federal public service workers’ right to free collective bargaining.

What is Bill C-51 and Bill C-377 and what do they specifically do?

Bill C-51 is an anti-terrorism bill that grants additional powers to CSIS (Canada’s spy agency) and RCMP in order to stop terrorism attacks. But this bill is very scary in terms of what it allows; CSIS can take police like actions to interfere with suspects: They can do anything to you if you’re suspected except for: interfere with justice, kill you or sexually assault you; ANYTHING. There is no oversight to make sure that CSIS acts appropriately, they can break charter rights through secret courts, they will be able to spy more readily on citizens and share that information through 17 government bodies, terrorism will be broadened far beyond the current definition, police will be able to more easily preventatively arrest you without charge and hold you up to a week, even talking about or promoting terrorism in any way could get you arrested.

Bill C-377 in short is this, From the Vancouver Sun:

The legislation would require unions to publicly disclose details of all expenses over $5,000 and remuneration to anyone totalling over $100,000.

Unions have complained that the measure, backed strongly by a B.C. lobby group that advises companies on how to de-certify unions, is a veiled attempt to tie unions up in costly red tape.

“It’s a bill that’s essentially about attacking unions because Conservatives don’t like unions, they don’t like the equality we bring,” B.C. Federation of Labour President Irene Lanzinger told The Vancouver Sun Friday.

Senate passes Bill C-377 then rises for summer

The Senate passed the controverisal union financial transparency bill, C-377, on Tuesday.

The Senate passed the controversial union financial transparency bill, C-377, by a vote of 35 to 22, with one abstention on Tuesday evening. Following the vote, Government Senate Leader Claude Carignan and Senate Liberal Leader James Cowan gave end-of-session remarks, as earlier in the day it was agreed upon that the Senate would rise once the vote was over.

After completing the six hours of time-allocated debate on the bill, only three Conservative Senators voted against it: Diane Bellemare, Nancy Ruth and John Wallace. Conservative Senator Douglas Black abstained from the vote. All Senate Liberals voted against the bill. Last week, Sen. Carignan denied the vote was being whipped and said Senators would be able to vote with their consciences.

“Democracy has left the building,” Marc Roy, communications director to Senate Sen. Cowan said in an email to The Hill Times ahead of the vote. Moments before the vote happened in the Upper Chamber, Sen. Cowan’s office sent out a statement.

“The passage of this bill marks a sad day for Parliamentary democracy. The last act of the Harper government in the 41st Parliament is to break the rules. This sums up much of what so many Canadians dislike about Mr. Harper’s government: he ignores the rules to get his way; ignores the views of provincial governments; ignores the Constitution and the Charter; and even ignores the ruling of his own appointee as Speaker of the Senate,” it reads.

Both the NDP and Liberals plan to repeal this bill if elected.
