It happens in Construction all the time. Trade unions target growing companies and follow workers home from the jobsite and try to sign them up in their driveways. They also try to plant workers inside the companies. It's just wrong that a laid off union tradesperson can be planted into a non-union company and have the right to unionize it. There should be a required amount of time a worker must work before they have the right to certify a company. The more work the construction company takes on the more vulnerable them become from hiring short term tradespeople. This of course raises the cost of construction and makes government and industry less competitive in a global market. I also believe these labour laws increase TFW. Would it not be better to have a government dictated fair wage policy for tradespeople and let the competition begin.? I believe Wynne is planning a major overhaul of Ontario's labour code in a bid for support in the next election.
