Anti Scab Legislation Now
To/Against/For: Ontario Legislature & Parliment of CanadaNumber of signatures required(target): 10000
We as workers, students, concerned citizens, families and the electorate of Ontario and Canada despise what is transpiring at the ECP / USW picket line in Brantford Ontario. This dispute is a textbook case of why Anti Scab legislation is needed so desperately in Ontario. 86 members of USW local 1-500 have locked out by virtue of obscene wage concessions from this American Company since August 23, 2008. Strike breaking security forces usher in and execute a choreographed plan to supply replacement workers in blacked out vehicles and buses. Strikers have peacefully endured this injustice for over one full year on the line in a dispute engineered by the company "Engineered Coated Products". All this abuse is legal under the strike breaking laws of this province and the majority of the other provinces. Ontario’s laws enacted by previous Conservative government and enforced by the current Liberal regime without conscience. We the undersigned collectively demand reforms to both
Ontario and Canadian labour laws including anti scab legislation now.
