CANADA'S NEW LABOUR CODE/Hon. Allan<MacEacheht Minister ofLabour, answers some questions:
"Our new Canada Labour Code
has been called a.`first,': Mr.: MacEaclien.
:Would you agree?'
"Briefly; .who does thiis.new (Code
:apply to?"
•
"Let's get; down to specifics:
What; exactly, does it promise: to those
employees who are affected by it?"
1.
"Yousaid the new Code applies
to.industries'.under Federal jurisdiction.
Would you•nanme them?'
'Yes, and it is one of the most al..embracing. Conde.
has and
to/be proud of it. It sets higher.,
standards than have been set for any other count* j► I know.).
Other countries are taking note of the way .:
Canadian Parliament is ensuring that more workers
share, in this country's growth."
"It applies to industries' which fall under:Fedetal jurisdiction
and may well prove to be a guide forother industries.
The Governnient,itself,. which is a large emplaoyer
In its own right, will take the lead byapplying
the. Code'sstandards to its own federal employees.":
"As we said,it:.setsririimum standards --and I stress
that these are minimum,because, of course, a lot of workers :
already enjoy higher standards than the -Code: sets.
First, itsetsa standard 8 hour day and`a 40 hour week,
with•;' overtime limited to 8 hours a week, and paidfor at •
time-and'a-half.
Second,,it sets the minimum wage; rate for all men and
women over 17 years of age, at $1.25 an hour..:
Next, it provides for two weeks annual vacation' with pay,
after one year's service; or 4% of :wages as vacation pay
for those with from' 30 days to a year's service.
.Finally, it stipulates that each .employee shall get
eight statutory holidays with pay a year--
or'get,:a full day off;in lieu of the holiday."
"The Code covers interprovincial or international rail
and highway transport,: primary fishing where the fishermen
work forwages, air, transport, radio and TV, 'shipping,
banks, uranium. mining, grain elevators, flour and feed
mills and warehousing, seed cleaning mills,: interprovincial
or international pipelines and ferries, interprovincial or.
international. telegraphs and telephones, most Crown
