'An Act te Restore Balance and Stability te Labour Relations and te Promote Economne Prosperty,' fulfils our government:s promise te, restore workplaoe democracy. Bill 7 repeals the NDP legisiation, Bill 40 and Bill 91, and amends the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act. The Ontario Labour Relations Act that eisted prior te Bill 40 was a balance which encouraged workers'riglits sud allowed a balance of democracy ithe workplace. Bill 7 will include msundatery secret ballot votes for union certification, coenlact ratification sud strike votes. Bill 91 was the NDP government'a attempt te unionize the family ftirm. In agriculture, the weather sud seasons dictate the demands of an operation that should not be subjoct te, industrial-style collective bargaining. Changes te the BgainAct wil allow this govermunent te fulfil su election promise te reduce the size suddcoot of government. We are ovroe nedsd overtaxed. What we need are jobs. This legishation will sllow smaller businesses te remain competitive and allow the private secter te create jobs. No one can argue with the rights of the worker sud oertainly no one can argue with their democratic right te a free and secret vote on unportant isues sudi as certification sud strikes. Having worked in a unionized workplaoe for over 30Oyears, I know that strikes can be controversial and perhaps confrontational However, at this time in our economy, jobs are important sud we need te balance the riglits of the employer sud the employee. 1 hope that no one je suggesting that violence has a place in our society. Violence bas no place in our communities or our workplace; te suggest othewise, le simply wrong. 0f course, as when you make changes, there are bound te ho those wlio resist. I have been in contact-with people in my riding, both employers sud employees, and they agree with the signal we are sending. This Bill 18 ail about promoting workplaoe democracy sud jobs.
