Protect workers, strengthen unions

THE EDITOR: As a former trade union leader, I am appealing for changes to the Registration, Recognition and Certification Board to give more authority to the worker, especially the status of recognised majority union status.

All workers within a bargaining unit must automatically pay trade union dues unless they choose to withdraw voluntarily, with penalties.

All workers also have the authority to change their trade union and the registration, recognition and certification of a union must take place within a specified time, with penalties to be paid by the employer and the board.

All workers must be protected during this period of economic downturn and recession.
