Episode Notes Canada’s House of Commons passed new anti-scab legislation on Monday. Bill C-58 bans the use of replacement workers during a strike in federally regulated industries, with the exception of the public service. The bill was tabled by Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan in November, as part of the Liberals’ confidence-and-supply agreement with the NDP. The bill passed with unanimous support – and should come into effect about a year after receiving Royal Assent. CKUT is joined by sociologist Barry Eidlin to discuss. Dr Eidlin studies the history of labour and social movements at McGill.
