"Bill 32 creates an unnecessary administrative burden for unions and interferes in a democratic process that is determined by our members." Unifor predicted the courts will eventually rule Bill 32 and Bill 1 are unconstitutional. The board would be allowed to prohibit the collection of union dues during an illegal strike; an employer could be forced to pay union dues during an illegal lockout. The process for a union to reach a first contract with an employer would become more restrictive if Bill 32 is passed. Bill 32 would also make it easier for employers to apply for variances and exemptions to workplace safety rules.
