I'm curious why unions who represent employees would want to take away a new right for employees that this bill has created. The bill creates a tribunal of independent judges who are on the bench and who would comprise the tribunal to hear cases when necessary. This is an entirely new right. It doesn't take away any existing right because under existing bargaining agreements employees will still have the right to go the labour relations board. The only change is that they now have a choice; if the employee is suspicious of the labour relations board or does not believe that it is the correct setting for their case to be heard, they can now choose to go to the tribunal. That choice is entirely the employee's. I cannot imagine how it could possibly be good for your members for you to want to take away that choice. Why would you want to take away that choice from your members?
