It is outrageous to me that an employer could rag the puck, so to speak, and not bargain seriously yet still be rewarded with the use of section 107 to impose a collective agreement on workers.
Let's think about this for a minute. Workers and their unions come to the bargaining table to bargain seriously and to deal with the big picture issues that we heard about from the other witnesses this morning, such as automation, AI—things that are impacting those workplaces in this moment. To think an employer could be cited in a report by a mediator saying they have not been bargaining in good faith and still be rewarded by having a collective agreement imposed is exactly what is wrong with this particular legislation.
