IAMAW Canada – Anti-Scab legislation closer to becoming law!

Posted on

On Tuesday Bill C-58 anti-scab legislation restricting the use of replacement workers during a strike or lockout passed second reading in the House of Commons, moving it one step closer to becoming law.

While this is certainly an important day for workers in across Canada, there is still work to be done. The IAM calls for all Members of Parliament to work together to strengthen the bill by addressing the exemptions and loopholes evident in the bill’s current form. We need to pass legislation and restore fairness and equity in the Collective Bargaining process for workers in federally-regulated industries without further delay.

IAMAW Canada – IAM Canada Statement on the crisis in Gaza

Posted on

The IAM in Canada has endorsed statements by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel. This includes the call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire; the release of all hostages and others held without due judicial process; and full respect for international humanitarian law.

The IAM condemns hate in all its forms. We join the ITUC and CLC in our support for a just and lasting peace.

The CLC is the national voice of the labour movement in Canada, and the ITUC is the largest trade union federation in the world. The IAM is affiliated to both organizations and supports their ongoing work to support workers in the region.
