June has been a month of lot of potential strike action, from Canadian Rail Services to Border Security.

In light of this, the federal government is bringing amendments to the Canada Labour Code and the Canada Industrial Relations Board Regulations in Bill c-58.

Union Leaders applauded this Legislation, as it would advance workers' ability to strike effectively.

This bill would ban the hiring of replacement workers in strike situations, and fine employers heavily if they do so.

The bill currently awaits Royal Assent and will come into effect a year after it does.
