Prime Minister Stephen Harper\u2019s new budget implementation bill puts workers\u2019 lives at risk and we need your help now to stop it.<\/p>\n

Buried deep in the 308 pages his finance minister just tabled are amendments to the Canada Labour Code that would make the federal health and safety law on the\u00a0right to refuse dangerous work the weakest in the country<\/strong>\u00a0and endanger the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers.<\/p>\n

Bill C-4 will weaken the existing right of workers to refuse dangerous work. Exposure to hazardous substances likely to result in a chronic illness, disease, or damage to the reproductive system will no longer be a valid reason for a worker to invoke the right to refuse dangerous work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Imagine, knowing what we know about asbestos exposure, that a federal worker would now be unable to refuse dangerous work if his employer told him to remove asbestos from a workplace without proper safety gear?<\/p>\n

Imagine, knowing what we know today about the impact of certain chemicals on women\u2019s reproductive health, that a worker would no longer have the right to refuse dangerous if her employer gave her work that exposed her to those chemicals?<\/p>\n

Conservative proposals would make the Canada Labour Code the only health and safety laws in the country that would make it legal for an employer to discipline a worker who refuses dangerous work.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s a dangerous precedent that must be stopped now!<\/p>\n

You can help stop this now!\u00a0Let your MP know what you think about the Harper government\u2019s move to endanger the lives of workers. Email your MP now<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Le nouveau projet de loi d\u2019ex\u00e9cution du budget du Premier ministre Stephen Harper met en danger la vie des travailleuses et travailleurs et nous avons besoin de votre aide maintenant pour le bloquer.<\/p>\n

Les modifications au Code canadien du travail, profond\u00e9ment enfouies dans le document de 308\u00a0pages que son ministre des Finances vient tout juste de d\u00e9poser, signifient que cetteloi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur la sant\u00e9 et s\u00e9curit\u00e9 deviendrait la plus faible l\u00e9gislation canadienne<\/strong>en mati\u00e8re de droit de refuser un travail dangereux et mettrait en danger la vie de centaines de milliers de travailleuses et travailleurs.<\/p>\n

Le projet de loi C-4 va affaiblir l\u2019actuel droit des travailleuses et travailleurs de refuser un travail dangereux. L\u2019exposition \u00e0 des substances toxiques susceptibles d\u2019entra\u00eener des maladies parfois chroniques ou des effets \u00e0 long terme sur le syst\u00e8me reproducteur ne sera plus une raison valable pour une travailleuse ou un travailleur d’invoquer son droit de refuser un travail dangereux.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imaginez, sachant ce que nous savons de l\u2019amiante, qu\u2019il serait d\u00e9sormais impossible pour un travailleur de refuser un travail dangereux si son employeur lui demande d\u2019enlever de l\u2019amiante sur un lieu de travail sans le mat\u00e9riel de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ad\u00e9quat?<\/p>\n

Pouvez-vous imaginer, sachant ce que nous savons aujourd\u2019hui des effets de certaines substances chimiques sur la sant\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9sique des femmes, qu\u2019une travailleuse n\u2019aurait plus le droit de refuser d\u2019effectuer un travail dangereux si le travail que lui donne l\u2019employeur l\u2019expose \u00e0 ces substances?<\/p>\n

Les propositions des conservateurs feraient en sorte que le Code canadien du travail serait la seule l\u00e9gislation en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 et s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au pays qui permettrait \u00e0 un employeur de prendre des mesures disciplinaires en toute l\u00e9galit\u00e9 contre une travailleuse ou un travailleur qui refuse d’effectuer un travail dangereux.<\/strong>\u00a0C\u2019est un pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent dangereux qui doit \u00eatre arr\u00eat\u00e9 d\u00e8s maintenant!<\/p>\n

Vous pouvez aider \u00e0 y mettre fin d\u00e8s maintenant!\u00a0Faites-savoir \u00e0 votre d\u00e9put\u00e9 ou d\u00e9put\u00e9e ce que vous pensez de la d\u00e9cision du gouvernement Harper de mettre en danger la vie des travailleuses et travailleurs. Envoyez un courriel \u00e0 votre d\u00e9put\u00e9 ou d\u00e9put\u00e9e maintenant.<\/a><\/p>\n
