An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (successor rights and obligations — airports)
Bill C-330 was an NDP Private Member's Bill amending the Canada Labour Code (R.S.C. 1985, c. L-2) to expand successor-rights protections for federally regulated workers when their employer is sold, merged, or transferred. Currently the CLC provides successor rights only in certain federal-industry sales (banking, telecommunications, interprovincial transport). The bill would have extended successor rights to all federal-industry transfers including federal-contract-out scenarios. Brought after the 2024 Sears Canada-style federal contracted-service-provider disputes affecting CBC Radio Canada workers and CN Rail workers. The Canadian Labour Congress and Unifor supported the proposal. Did not pass third reading.
