Die kanadischen Arbeitnehmer des Privatsektors benötigen Arbeitsrechtsreform

Arguably very difficult to do due to our federalist system, but sectoral bargaining in this country would be so, so fucking good. Idk why the NDP doesn’t run on it, I’ve talked to several MPPs in my province about it, including Stiles, and it has never been talked about in our policy platform.

Sectoral bargaining would allow for unions to have a far greater bargaining power, far more uniform and higher wages, benefits, and pensions for workers, more stable hours. For employers, it would mean simplified administration of pay and benefits. Some of the most capitalist countries on earth, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Austria and Netherlands all have sectoral bargaining.

More economic democracy always benefits the worker, and it’s primetime we had it in Canada instead of weakening labour movements that liberals and conservatives have caused in the past 4 decades.
