Business and labour remain at odds over a proposed labour bill in Nova Scotia.
Leanne Hachey of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business tells the Chronicle-Herald she and other business representatives are concerned only unions and employers with unionized workers would make up a new labour committee.
They say it wouldn’t be fair considering 70 per cent of Nova Scotia’s workforce is not in unions.
They’re also concerned about what it called “successor rights,” where government employees whose service may be privatized would still get to keep their collective bargaining rights with a new employer.
