May 27, 2024, 09:06 PM

Canadian Members of Parliament (MPs) have voted to ban replacement workers with the passage of the 'anti-scab' bill. The legislation, which passed unanimously in the House of Commons, prohibits the use of replacement workers during strikes and lockouts at federally regulated workplaces. The bill, championed by the New Democratic Party (NDP), is seen as a significant victory for workers, unions, and labour activists across Canada. Today is a historic day for workers in Canada as the bill passed its third reading in Parliament.
