Nova Scotia Needs Anti-Scab Legislation!

We need anti-scab legislation in Nova Scotia. The right to strike is a fundamental aspect of our labour laws and is protected under the Canadian Constitution.

However, this right is undermined when employers are allowed to use replacement workers, or ‘scabs’, during legal strikes or lockouts.

This practice labour disputes, leading to negative impacts on our economy and community.

We need all-party support for the enactment of anti-scab legislation in Nova Scotia, in line with the proposed NDP draft and in existing legislation in Quebec, British Columbia.
