The NDP government has floated the idea of a new bill that would look to ban the replacement of workers on strikes or lockouts.
This new bill aims to promote fair collective bargaining and minimize labor disputes, but not everyone is in favor of this.
The Manitoba Chamber of Commerce is calling the idea unfair, saying it will force businesses to close during strikes or lockouts.
Chuck Davidson, President of the Chamber says the province already has a fair process in place that allows both employers and unions to seek binding arbitrations in the event of a strike or a lockout.
The bill is currently in its early stages of drafting, so there are no firm details on if it will go through out not yet.
