Thank you.
Right now, most unions are doing the rounds to educate parliamentarians on the issue. Often, when disputes fall under federal jurisdiction, things can take a lot longer because of the measures available.
I'm not sure whether you've examined this or considered it as it relates to telework, but it's increasingly difficult to enforce anti-scab legislation.
I'll give you an example. I live in Joliette, and the workers at the cement plant there were locked out by an American multinational for over a year. The administrative labour tribunal ruled in their favour, but it's hard to prove that an employer is using replacement workers when the work is being performed remotely. The dispute involved Unifor members.
Similarly, employees of the BMR hardware store chain, who belong to the union CSN, were locked out by their employer. The administrative labour tribunal ruled in their favour as well, but the work was still performed remotely and the CSN members weren't able to prove it.
Can you tell us what can be done to really enforce anti-scab legislation when the work is performed remotely?
