Petition in Support of Withdrawal of Bill 80

To the Honourable Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in legislature assembled:
The petition of the undersigned citizens of the Province of Saskatchewan humbly showeth:
That the members of the Building Trades unions have a proud history of Craft Union certification in Saskatchewan, and;

That the existing Construction Industry Labour Relations Act 1992 has provided a stable environment for labour relations in the construction industry in the province, and;
That the results of a stable labour relations environment provide for quality work and safe construction work sites that benefit all people in the province, and;

That the existing Building Trades contracts support an apprenticeship system of training which results in a highly skilled workforce.

Wherefore your petitioners humbly pray that your Honourable Legislative Assembly may be pleased to cause the government to withdraw its ill-conceived Bill 80, the Construction Industry Labour Relations Act 2009, which dismantles the proud history of the Building Trades in this province, creates instability in the labour market, and impacts the quality of training required of workers before entering the workforce.

And, as in duty bound, your petitioners will every pray.
