TO: Canadian Executive Board Members

Local and Provincial BCTC

Dear Sister / Brother:

The House of Commons passed some substantial amendments to the “Wage Protection Act” which was adopted by the previously Liberal Government. Much labour movement involvement continued to push this piece of legislation through the House of Commons.

The amendments include:

Pension contributions that are held in arrears (these are the regular pension contributions that come on an individual’s benefit) that have not been remitted to the pension plan by the employer become a super priority and form a charge over all of the assets of the bankrupt corporation ahead of secured creditors. That is to say pension contributions come before the bank. That essentially codifies the Alberta Decision of UA Local 488 vs. Noralta Fabricators (leave to the Supreme Court of Canada refused) as the law.

Up to a maximum of $3,000.00 a worker will get compensation for unpaid wages or vacation pay which had been earned but not paid out at the time that an employer either went bankrupt or was placed into receivership.

Both of these amendments will add substantially to the protection for workers who can ill afford to lose a small amount of money or pension contribution vs. making sure that the banks (remember them – the people that make billion dollar profits bear the loss).

Fraternally yours,

Robert R. Blakely,

Director of Canadian Affairs
