Stop the use of scabs!

We have another occasion to push for the adoption of an anti-scab legislation. Act now!
This fall, you can perform a simple act to stop the use of scabs by employers by asking your federal Member of Parliament to vote for Bill C-257, which would ban the use of replacement workers (scabs). If adopted, this legislation would apply to all employers governed by the Canada Labour Code.
The PSAC joins the Canadian Labour Congress and many other unions in supporting this Bill that was tabled the Bloc Québécois, as well as a similar Bill tabled by the New Democratic Party.
If you want to stop the use of scabs and restore a true balance between workers and employers, tell your MP that you want him/her to vote in favour of this amendment to the Labour Code. Remind your MP that she/he was elected to represent you.
