Bill C-4, the budget implementation act:
• Secretly makes changes to our rights without any consultation.
• Puts at risk our health and safety and the Canadians we serve by re-defining “danger” to include only imminent risks.
• Lets the government unilaterally decide who performs essential services in order to take away our collective bargaining power.
• Changes the rules for arbitrators to limit their independence, impartiality and ability to consider our interests.

Bill C-4, the budget implementation act:
• Takes away our right to choose to have contract disputes decided through arbitration if we reach an impasse at the bargaining table.
• Makes it harder to refuse unsafe work and replaces health and safety officers with anyone the Minister appoints.
• Our union has called on Parliament to reject these changes.

Bill C-4, the budget implementation act:
• We asked the President of Treasury Board to consult with us before making such radical changes to labour law. But Minister Clement outright refused.
• The Bill is undemocratic and puts lives at risk. We must come together to defend our rights, our working conditions and our health and safety.
