November 24, 2011 - SFL et al hears Government's argument for stripping away working people's rights
The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, along with two dozen additional plaintiffs (unions) and the case's three intervenor unions, were in court yesterday as the legal team representing the Government of Saskatchewan began making its argument for why the government should be permitted to limit working people’s Charter rights.
Working people across Saskatchewan were disappointed today to learn that, in spite of the warnings of academics and the concerns of thousands, the Government of Saskatchewan has forced Bill 85 through the Legislature.
Earlier this morning, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal released an important decision recognizing that Canadian law has evolved to a point where a right to strike may be protected by the Constitution.
