Cp rail union, tories battle over collective bargaining - China UTV Winches - 4x4 Recovery Winch


 
Business,Business News,Business Opportunities
The federal Conservatives defended their plan to force strikingCanadian Pacific Railway employees back to work as a way to keepthe economy on track, while the union representing 4,800 workerssaid their collective bargaining rights are under attack. Labour Minister Lisa Raitt, flanked by four other cabinetministers, on Monday made her case based on a need to keep thetrains running so other businesses can keep their products moving. Industry Minister Christian Paradis argued there's between $30 to$50 million a day in lost productivity and expenses because of thework stoppage. "Canada s manufacturing sector is an extensive web ofinterconnected companies that allows for just-in-time delivery ofcomponents and finished products. A disruption in the supplynetwork would affect every company in the chain," he said.

The railway is Canada's backbone and links the country with majorU.S. industrial centres, Raitt said in a speech to the House ofCommons, and the work stoppage is affecting Canada's reputation. "We're only one link in a long supply chain. What happens hereaffects inbound and outbound traffic," she said.

"We cannot affordto be that weak link." Raitt said she wants to see CP trains rolling on Thursday, orearlier if the two sides get back to the table. The back-to-worklegislation would send the union members back to their jobs, extendthe current agreement until the two sides reach a new one, andprovide for arbitration to find a deal within 90 days of thegovernment appointing an arbitrator. With pensions one of the major issues to be resolved, Raitt wasasked whether her legislation showed she was on the side ofshareholders. "That s absolutely ridiculous.

I work for the Canadian public andthe national economy," she said. Collective bargaining 'under attack' The union representing the Canadian Pacific Railway workers, whichhas more than 4,800 workers, says management isn't bargaining withstriking workers because the federal government announced it wouldbring in back-to-work legislation. The union spoke to the media as the government introduced a motionto limit debate on the legislation in the House of Commons justafter noon in Ottawa. The legislation itself was introduced justafter 3 p.m. ET.

Doug Finnson, the union's chief negotiator, says it's only becausethe government said it would act that CP management isn't at thetable. "Collective bargaining in this country is under attack, certainly,"he said. "As long as the government intervenes in collective bargaining, andin my opinion, unfairly favours the employer, the employers aregoing to simply line up, every one of them knowing that thegovernment's going to intervene, suspend collective bargainingartificially, and get into this return-to-work legislation, whichfrom what I understand in the past two experiences, hassignificantly favoured the employer," Finnson said, referring tolegislation that forced Canada Post and Air Canada workers back towork. In the case of Canada Post, management had locked out workers after11 days of rolling strikes. The legislation imposed a final offerselection process to resolve the dispute.

Raitt says the government isn't to blame if the union andmanagement at CP couldn't reach a deal. The two sides have anobligation to reach a deal, she said. "It may seem to be very nice and easy to come to Parliament.[Management] are not going to get the legislation they expect orthey want in either case, and secondly, it doesn t help them intheir business plan moving forward.," Raitt told Evan Solomon, hostof CBC's Power & Politics. "The overall message to employers is: don t come to the governmentfor legislation.

We don t want to do this. We don t want to haveto intervene at all, and yet when the national economy ends upbeing affected, we have no choice but to intervene." Pensions a major issue The teamsters say pensions are one of the major sticking points inthe talks. That's ironic, Finnson said, because two of the biggestshareholders in CP are the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan and theCanada Pension Plan, which are pension funds. "Isn't that a little ironic that the workers at CP Rail are beingasked to give up the value of their pension plan, and indirectlyit's going to benefit two other pension plans in Canada?" Finnsonsaid. If it passes, the union won't disobey the law, Finnson said, whichdoesn't seem to have some of the measures that other back-to-workbills have contained.

The union has to take a closer look at the measures, he said. A statement by CP says they will co-operate with any decision ofParliament. "Once the legislative process unfolds, our company will shift ourattention to fully preparing for a timely and disciplined ramp-upin operations with a view to achieve full production levels as soonas possible for the benefit of all our customers," Ed Greenberg, aspokesman for CP, said. 'Takes a lot more pressure' off employer Opposition MPs said earlier in the day that the Conservativegovernment took away any incentive for CP management to bargainwhen it announced it would introduce back-to-work legislation iftalks didn't yield an agreement. Raitt made the announcement last Wednesday, less than 12 hoursafter the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference started the strike andwhile the parties were still negotiating.

Talks broke off Sunday between the rail company and the unionrepresenting 4,800 striking locomotive engineers and conductors. NDP finance critic Peggy Nash, a former union negotiator, saysannouncing the government is prepared to intervene makes resolvingthe strike through negotiations much more difficult. "If I'm the employer, I'm thinking it takes a lot more pressure offof me to not have to negotiate a settlement," Nash said. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair met with the union Monday morning in hisoffice. Management in labour disputes perceives arbitration will be totheir advantage, Liberal House leader Marc Garneau said.

"This government sends that signal constantly to the privatesector. We saw what they did with Canada Post, we saw what they didwith Air Canada, and it's the approach of the government that ishostile to negotiations with the unions." The government is moving to limit debate on the motion, providingtwo hours of debate in the House, plus an hour for study atcommittee of the whole, where all MPs can ask questions, followedby 30 minutes for the final reading in the House. Under the motion,the bill would trump all other business in front of the House, andonly cabinet ministers would be allowed to propose votes during thedebate. MPs will vote on the motion to apply time allocation Tuesday night.The government could bring the back-to-work legislation forward fordebate and voting after 8pm on Tuesday night, with the final voteto be held when it concludes.
