Farmers want
safeguards in
PC labor law
TORONTO - The Ontario Feder-
ation of Agriculture is concerned
that Agriculture Minister Noble
Villeneuve's announcement that
the new PC government will re-
peal Bill 91, the Agricultural La-
bor Relations Act, was made in
haste and without consultation.
Ontario Federation of Agricul-
ture President Roger George said
the OFA would be very happy to
sec Bill 91 repealed, "provided it
is replaced with something better,
something that reflects the future
of the farming industry, its labor
requirements, and most important-
ly, its uniqueness in comparison to
other industries." He also stressed
that Minister Villeneuve and Min-
ister of Labor Ms. Witmer, need to
sit down with farm leaders as soon
as possible to discuss alternatives
to the Agricultural Labor Relations
Act.
"While we were not great fans of
Bill 91, it does provide farmers
with safeguards against future la-
bor problems," said Mr. George.
"To throw it out the window with-
out consultation with farm leaders,
and with no safeguards to replace
it does a grave disservice to agri-
culture."
He said the OFA is very con-
cerned that a return to the exemp-
tion for agriculture under a main-
stream labor legislation may not
hold up in court if labor leaders
choose to challenge it. "What are
farmers left with then," he asks.
"There's no way that agriculture
can fit under legislation designed
around an industrial model."
"Poorly judged leaps from the
frying pan into the fire are not the
way to go," George said. "Repeal
without remedy is both politically
simplistic and shortsighted."
