Help us to Unstack the Deck – Message your MLA and attend the Rally for Labour Rights

What

The Economy Has Changed. So Should Our Workplace Laws. That is why the Alberta Federation of Labour has launched the Unstack the Deck campaign to encourage our provincial government to implement progressive labour legislation in Alberta

How to Participate

Click here to send a message to your MLA telling them it’s time to unstack the deck for Alberta workers, and then,

Attend the Rally for Labour Rights:

Join us in front of the Legislature Building at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 30th for A Rally for Labour Rights. RSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1845997118988315/

Background

Generations of right-wing governments in Alberta have stacked the deck against working people in our province, leaving us with one-sided workplace rules that favour employers at the expense of employees.

The Government of Alberta is in the process of reviewing and updating our workplace laws. As the first progressive government in Alberta since the 1920s, the NDP has an opportunity to unstack the deck and level the playing field by giving Albertans an Employment Standards Code with real teeth and a Labour Relations Code that allows people to exercise their constitutional right to join unions and bargain collectively.

Last year, ACTIMS held the second Women in Trades Awards & Bursary Program for members of the Building Trades who are working in the heavy industrial construction/maintenance industries in Canada.

From the dozens of applications received, we were able to recognize three (3) women from various Locals across the country who demonstrated excellence, integrity, and leadership in their respective trades at their workplace.

Once again, ACTIMS will be commencing the program for 2017, and is hoping to attract even more participation in the upcoming year!

Attached is the information package that outlines the program in detail, and an application form, which interested candidates can complete and return with their pertinent documents, to the ACTIMS office. Applications can be submitted from February 1^st through till April 30^th.

We request that you distribute the attached package to all of your affiliates in order for the program to receive the maximum coverage within the building trades community.

A tripartite committee comprised of members of the ACTIMS Board of Directors will assess the applications during the month of May, and present their recommendations to the full Board for approval. Winners will be recognized at the ACTIMS Annual General meeting in July 2017.

Please note that this information and the application form can also be downloaded from the ACTIMS website www.actims.ca

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Complete the Employment Standards Code Review Survey

Email the review your thoughts on the Labour Relations Code

What

The provincial government has invited Albertans to participate in a review of the province’s labour legislation with a stated goal of ensuring fair and family-friendly workplaces.

How to Participate

An important part of this review process is an online survey the government has posted to hear Albertan’s views on specific parts to the Employment Standards Code. The government is also accepting written submissions on the Labour Relations Code by email.

The Employment Standards Code sets out the basic workplace rights and standards by which basic workplace rights and standards are given to for non-unionized workers, so it is important that as many worker-friendly voices as possible are heard through this review survey.

Email the review with your thoughts on the Labour Relations Code
LBR.Review@gov.ab.ca

Background

Alberta has some of the oldest workplace legislation in Canada. Both the Employment Standards Code and Labour Relations Code have not been significantly updated since 1988.

The public is invited to provide their views and input on Alberta’s workplace laws until April 18, 2017. Albertans can find more information about the review at: http://work.alberta.ca/department/workplace-legislation-review.html

This is our opportunity to raise the floor for all Albertans, and to ensure Alberta has modern, progressive labour laws, that reflect the changing nature of work and family life which has occured over the last 30 years.

If you would like to provide written feedback on the Employment Standards Code or the Labour Relations Code you can email it directly to the review process at: LBR.Review@gov.ab.ca
