Ottawa, ON – As part of the Cabinet shuffle by the Prime Minister last week, Patricia Hajdu was appointed Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour. She was previously the Minister of Status of Women. The IAM congratulates Ms. Hajdu on her new appointment.
The Labour movement is an important voice for working people. Therefore, it is vital for the federal government to engage and have ongoing discussions with Canadian unions to understand issues facing workers from coast to coast to coast, and put in place legislation that protects them. As a result, the IAM is attempting to set up a meeting with the minister to discuss pressing issues facing our members, such as the threat of airport privatization, the growing trend of contract flipping and pay equity.
