Summary

We will oppose any attempt of the federal government to intervene on behalf of the employer against the workers in what should be a negotiated agreement between the workers and the employer for good wages and safe work conditions. For too long, we have seen Liberals and Conservatives interfere in these types of labor disputes to the advantage of the employers, to the detriment of the worker. That is wrong, and we will oppose that.
