Unions urge Redford to suspend debate on Bills 45 and 46 to avoid a “generation of poisoned labour relations”
AFL and unions next in line for bargaining say a task force on public-sector labour relations is needed to rebuild trust
EDMONTON—The leaders of the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) and three of the unions that are next in line to negotiate with the provincial government have asked Premier Redford to suspend debate on Bills 45 and 46 in order to avoid a “generation of poisoned labour relations” in the public sector.

Dear Premier Redford:
We are requesting a meeting with you today to discuss the labour movement’s concerns about recent labour legislation introduced by your government. We feel strongly that Bills 45 and 46 are unfair, uncalled for, unnecessarily confrontational and likely unconstitutional.
