A Saskatchewan law limiting the ability of public sector workers to go on strike has been ruled unconstitutional by a Queen's Bench judge, but the provincial government says it is still committed to having essential services legislation.
In a 132-page decision, released Monday, Regina Justice Dennis Ball said the Public Service Essential Services Act — also known as Bill 5 — infringes on workers' rights and is of "no force or effect."

Newsflash
Education graduates face a dismal job market across Canada. In Ontario, two-thirds of all recent graduates are not working full time. UBC's teacher program admits that many grads can't find teaching jobs either. At a recent education job fair at the University of Manitoba, local school boards were noticeably absent. However, other employers such at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were eager to recruit education grads. The RCMP are recruiting the grads for the Regina police academy. There is a higher demand for police than for teachers. An RCMP constable starts at $49,000 but is earning $80,000 after three years. Much more appealing than waiting on the TOC list hoping to get hired. |
