The CFIB urged the federal government to “ensure all departments maintain full service to small businesses,” negotiate with an eye to getting a “long-term and affordable” collective agreement, and prepare back-to-work legislation if the strike lasts more than a few days.
“Farmers need to continue to deliver last year’s crop before spring seeding to run their businesses and purchase inputs for the 2023 crop,” Gunter Jochum, president of the Wheat Growers lobby, said in a press release. “A stoppage would be devastating to the industry, and ultimately to consumers.” Slower inspections of imports and exports at Canada’s ports likely would cause traffic jams, as vessels line up to load and unload. Grain growers are doubly vulnerable because federal law requires an inspector from the Grain Commission to sign off on shipments.Jochum used the strike to re-up Wheat Growers’ demand that the federal government loosen restrictions on grain inspections and allow private inspectors to do most of the work.
“With efficiencies paramount in any business, is it time for services be moving to a regulatory oversight model like the United States? While we recognize that would require a legislative change, until then we expect government to ensure that staff not in the PSAC union be available to pick up, bag and tag samples provided by a third party for grading, thereby ensuring vessel loading and movement impacts are minimized because of the strike,” the press release said.
That means the emergencies act will get declared again? Economic destruction and an occupation are all that is required to use the war measures act. They will freeze bank accounts all over again. Can’t mess with Canadas economy!! The emergency must be extra dire in Ottawa
Because the cry babies want to work from home.
This train just keeps wrecking ...
Oh no. Paying people would take a fraction of the wealth from billionaires. Heaven forbid a family should be able to afford a home and food
Why are they allowed to block critical infrastructure?
Weird how left wing unions that secure voting blocks for a particular party are allowed to engage in economic terrorism isn't it?
All civilized countries banned slavery. Canada should lead the world and outlaw civil servants. Servants of any kind are demeaning even if they tend to be civil most of the time.
Unions paying them now instead of the government. Who wants to bet Trudeau sends all that savings over to the Ukraine?
Unions are essential for keeping decent employment standards in check. Business leaders would have us risking our lives for a loaf of bread/day in the coal mines again if it weren't for unions. So I'll always support unions. I wish I was in one.
rexglacer It’s already staggering!
Spoiled brats
PSAC... Progressive Socialist Activists of Canada.
JustinTrudeau can’t look after his own employees let alone govern a country!!! TrudeauNationalDisgrace
The problem is that public sector workers were not impacted financially during the lockdowns. They have job security, great benefits, other perks and pensions that the private sector can only dream of. Taxpayers cannot support the bloated bureaucracy and its entitlements.
You all see what the uniparty and their big governments are doing to this country and your likelihood?
Is the Federal government now going to declare a national emergency and suspend their bank account? 🖕
