On May 17, without notice, the Harris government introduced a dangerous new law into the Legislature. Bill 57 is a giant bill. If passed, it will amend 30 different laws. We cannot let one government wipe them away with the stroke of a pen. Bill 57 is very, very serious, she said.
Lives really are at stake.
The time to speak up is now. Under the current law, workers have the right to refuse unsafe work. They have the right to have the workplace investigated by a Ministry of Labour inspector. They have the right to be there during the investigation. The new amendment would allow an inspector to investigate over the phone and not at the workplace.
