Unions have new leverage, not less, under Liberals' new major projects bill: jobs minister

The new major projects bill proposed by the Carney government aims to revise a contentious part of Canada's Labour Code, stirring opposition from organized labor. However, Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu insists that unions will actually gain more leverage rather than lose under this change. This move signifies the government's effort to balance project development with labor rights, potentially impacting future negotiations and the dynamics of labor relations in major infrastructure projects. The implications could reshape how unions and employers interact, especially in sectors critical to national development.
