Bank of Canada Strike: NDP Accuses Ottawa of Breaking Labour Laws
NDP Leader Avi Lewis accused the federal government of breaking its own labour laws by allowing the Bank of Canada to use replacement workers during a strike by security officers.
The Bank of Canada admitted to using replacement workers after the Canadian Press reported on it, and NDP Leader Avi Lewis spoke out against this decision, stating that the federal government is defying its own labour laws.
In 2024, Canada passed legislation banning federally regulated workplaces from bringing in replacement workers during a legal strike. This new rule took effect last year.
