York University Labour Law: Financial Transparency

financial transparency: Delegates at the Conservative party convention in Calgary last weekend nearly unanimously supported policy proposals that would require enhanced financial transparency from unions and allow members to opt out of contributions to political and social causes, according to Huffington Post. The Conservatives, at both the federal and Ontario level, have taken a hard shift to the far right, adopting some of the most extreme U.S. Republican-style labour policies, said York University Labour Law professor David Doorey and Canadian labour leaders say they are disturbed but not shocked that the Tories have adopted a number of union-busting measures in their official party policy, including support for U.S.-style right-to-work legislation. But the most troubling resolutions for union brass were two successful resolutions that indicated Conservatives support controversial right-to-work legislation that might one day find its way into the governments platform.
