The Order of Certified Human Resources Advisors is urging the Legault government to exercise caution with its bill on union transparency and governance.
The bill proposed by Labour Minister Jean Boulet will be the subject of special consultations on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Until now, it has mainly been the unions that have voiced their complaints, denouncing the government’s interference in union affairs and its desire to muzzle them and prevent them from acting as a counterweight to power.
Now, the Order of Certified Human Resources Professionals is expressing reservations about certain aspects of the bill. It is “urging the legislator to exercise caution.”
The order is expressing reservations about the optional union dues, in addition to the main dues.
It also has reservations about the financial and administrative burden that the bill will impose on smaller unions, which do not have the resources of union centrals or federations.
