A New Brunswick court has struck down part of the province's labour law that strips casual workers of basic rights.

In a decision released today, Justice Paulette Garnett of the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench ruled that the New Brunswick Public Service Labour Relations Act is contrary to section 2(d) of the Charter of Rights which protects the right to freedom of association.

“We are very pleased with this victory. We have casual workers in this province who have been working as ‘casual’ in the public sector for years. Those workers have no rights, earn less and have no benefits,” said CUPE New Brunswick president Daniel Légère.

Justice Garnett said for many years the province, as an employer, has subjected casual workers to practices which can “only be described as unfair.”

The judge is giving the province one year to remedy this situation.

CUPE launched legal proceedings in September 2005 to obtain rights for those workers.

Thousands of temporary or seasonal workers employed by the province could be affected by this decision.

The fight over casual workers has been waged multiple times over the past two decades.

In a decision released today, Justice Paulette Garnett of the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench ruled that the New Brunswick Public Service Labour Relations Act is contrary to section 2(d) of the Charter of Rights which protects the right to freedom of association. Several New Brunswick unions are declaring victory in a court battle over casual workers employed by the provincial government. The use of casual workers by the New Brunswick government is out of hand. More than 3,000 were hired last year. The number of casuals employed in the broader public sector, including hospitals and schools, brings the number to at least 5,000. Persistence is the key, even if you are in dire need of extra cash and at best payday loans and a paycheck are in the distance. Even if you can't get a loan until payday, and the unemployment rate is rising, keeping at it is one of the best job search tips.
