DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Notice to interested parties — Equal remuneration for federally regulated contract workers in the air transportation sector covered by a collective agreement under Part I of the Canada Labour Code

The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour’s mandate commitments include addressing the changing way that people work, working to increase the workforce participation of women and underrepresented groups, and setting the stage for good quality jobs by ensuring that Canadians continue to have a robust and modern set of federal labour standards.

To this end, action has been taken to strengthen the basic rights and protections of employees in the federally regulated private sector. As part of Bill C-86 (Budget Implementation Act 2018, No. 2), which received royal assent on December 13, 2018, the Government made a comprehensive suite of changes to Part III (federal labour standards) of the Canada Labour Code (Code) to ensure that employees have an up-to-date set of labour standards that reflects the realities of the 21st century workplace and provides a framework for good quality jobs. This includes a legislative amendment to ensure that employees whose employer changes due to contract re-tendering do not lose their rights and entitlements provided under Part III, as some of these entitlements are only available to an employee who has completed a certain period of continuous employment with the same employer (e.g. annual vacation and severance pay).

Building on these recent legislative changes, this notice provides interested parties with the opportunity to submit comments regarding the Labour Program’s intent to propose a regulation under Part I (Industrial Relations) of the Code that would extend the scope of the equal remuneration provision under section 47.3. This provision, which currently applies only to contracted, pre-board security screening service employees at airports, would be extended to include other federally regulated service workers in the air transportation sector. Consistent with the existing provision, the proposed regulation would apply only to federally regulated employees whose terms and conditions of employment are covered by a collective agreement.

By way of background, many employers, including those in the air transportation sector, hire contractors to perform certain services. Upon the termination of such a service contract, either through its scheduled end or because it is severed, an organization may award a new contract for the same service to the previous contractor, or may select a new contractor through a process called contract re-tendering.

When a contract is awarded to a new contractor through the re-tendering process, the employees of the previous contractor are often laid off and may be re-hired by the new contractor in order to retain their knowledge and expertise and avoid incurring costs associated with on-boarding, training and operational disruption. However, in such a scenario, the collective agreement does not transfer to the new employer with the contract, and previously unionized employees lose their union representation and the entitlements previously held under their collective agreement, including remuneration, seniority and benefits.

In this context, some stakeholders in the air transportation sector have expressed concerns regarding their remuneration levels following a contract changing hands. Specifically, the Labour Program has heard accounts of employees at some Canadian airports being re-hired to work at the same location and perform the same tasks, but at a lower wage than that provided by the previous contractors.

In light of these concerns, and building on the actions already taken to improve working conditions within the federally regulated private sector, the Labour Program is seeking stakeholder input on its proposal to extend the equal remuneration provision under section 47.3 of the Code to include other unionized service employees at airports and airlines who may be impacted by the contract re-tendering process. This proposal would ensure that employers within the air transportation sector maintain the flexibility to contract out elements of their operations while minimizing the negative impacts on workers.

Below are key questions for which Labour Program officials are particularly interested in receiving input. However, all input is welcome and should not be limited to responses to these questions.

Questions to guide input from interested parties

  1. Are you aware of particular groups of federally regulated contract service workers who have been affected by, or are vulnerable to, the lowering of remuneration levels as a result of contract re-tendering practices in the air transportation industry? (See the annex for a list of potential occupations.) Please provide evidence to support your response.
  2. Beyond the outcome of extending equal remuneration protection to a broader subset of federally regulated workers at airports and airlines, what other impacts, either positive or negative, could potentially result from the proposed regulation? Please provide evidence to support your response.
  3. How would the proposed regulation to extend the existing equal remuneration provision to other federally regulated contract service workers at airports and airlines affect your organization? Please provide evidence to support your response.
  4. Are there any alternative approaches to addressing this issue that may warrant further consideration, either in tandem with, or as an alternative to, the proposed regulatory approach? If so, please provide further details.
  5. Have you or your organization conducted, commissioned and/or consulted any studies on contract re-tendering and levels of remuneration at airports? If so, are you able to share those studies with Labour Program officials?
  6. Are there any other comments you wish to offer to inform the Government’s analysis of this issue?

PROPOSED RELEASE GUIDELINES FOR DISPERSE YELLOW 3 AND 25 OTHER AZO DISPERSE DYES IN THE TEXTILE SECTOR

1. Introduction

Textile manufacturing is one of Canada’s oldest and most diverse industries. Textiles can be found in an array of applications such as clothing, transportation, medical, agriculture, civil engineering, packaging, protection (individual, environmental), and construction. Approximately 90% of textile mills in Canada are micro businesses (i.e. fewer than 5 employees) or small businesses (i.e. 5 to 99 employees) [Industry Canada, 2012]. They are part of a relatively small sector that, in 2010, constituted 0.05% of the Canadian Gross Domestic Product (Industry Canada, 2011 and Statistics Canada, 2011). The Canadian textile industry is mainly concentrated in Quebec and Ontario (Environment Canada, 2005). Azo disperse dyes represent a significant proportion of the textile dye market. These dyes are exclusively used for textile dyeing, mainly of synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyester blends, cellulose acetate and nylon.

Azo disperse dyes were assessed under CEPA, which provides for a broad range of tools to achieve environmental protection objectives. As a result of this assessment, it was determined that the most appropriate tool for managing Disperse Yellow 3 (DY3) and 25 other azo disperse dyes (listed in Appendix 1) is Release Guidelines. In the context of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment, azo disperse dyes were identified as having potential ecological effects when released to surface water. These releases were shown to occur during the formulation and use of the textile dyes.

The present Release Guidelines recommend standard release limits and daily use limits for 26 azo disperse dyes with molar weights below 360 g/mol, including DY3 and 25 other azo disperse dyes, used in specific textile activities (i.e. dye formulation and dyeing operations).

2. Targeted textile activities

The textile activities subject to the Guidelines are

3. Applicability

The Guidelines apply to any person who

4. Stanards

4.1 Release limit

Overall release of the 26 azo disperse dyes at a facility’s final discharge point should not be in a concentration greater than

A proposed method for determining effluent concentration is included in Appendix 2 of the Release Guidelines available on the CEPA Registry website.

4.2 Daily use limit

Total daily use of the 26 azo disperse dyes should not be in a quantity greater than

5. Alternatives

Facilities are encouraged, when appropriate, to use alternatives that reduce or minimize human health or environmental risks. It is important that the chosen alternatives are not azo disperse dyes with a molar weight below 360g/mol. Information on the chosen alternatives should be reported through the Declaration of the operator included in Appendix 3 of the Release Guidelines available on the CEPA Registry website.

6. Declaration of the operator

The entities listed in section 3 should inform in writing the Minister of the Environment of their intention to implement these Guidelines by completing the Declaration of the operator no later than six months after the final publication of the Guidelines or six months before the initial use of any of the 26 azo disperse dyes.

7. Monitoring and analysis

Any person/entity subject to these Guidelines should monitor their activities on an ongoing basis to ensure conformity with the Guidelines by

Any analysis performed for the purposes of the Guidelines must be conducted by a laboratory that is accredited under ISO and standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005, entitled “General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories,” as amended from time to time.

8. Reporting

Any person/entity subject to these Guidelines should

Conformity evaluation reports should include the following :

If the approach used to calculate the concentration at a facility’s final discharge point differs from the method proposed in Appendix 2 of the Release Guidelines, a facility should submit a copy of the method used and the results obtained (e.g. chemical analysis) with the report.

9. Record keeping

Any person/entity subject to these Guidelines should retain all records pertaining to these Guidelines for at least five years beginning on the date of their creation and make them available to the Minister of the Environment upon request. It is important that the company keep all such records, as well as reported instances of spills, leak detection and repairs, annual estimates of releases, stock supply, quantity used, concentration estimated, laboratory analysis data, use dates, batch number, etc.

10. Verification

Verification activities will be carried out six months after the facilities’ annual reports have been received. Site visits of selected facilities by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) representatives will help confirm the accuracy of the reported data. ECCC will verify the current use/processes involving the 26 azo disperse dyes and determine the end of use, if applicable. This includes verifying the equipment and the machinery used inside the facility, as well as the implementation of the recommended best practices and record-keeping activities in the facility, as outlined in these Guidelines. In addition, verifiers may ask to review records and auxiliary data, obtain information through interviews or ask for supplemental documentation.

11. Confidentiality

In accordance with section 313 of the Act, any person who submits information under these Guidelines could request that the information be treated as confidential.

12. Best practices

The proposed best practices to mitigate releases of Disperse Yellow 3 and the 25 other azo disperse dyes included in these Guidelines can be found in the Release Guidelines on the CEPA Registry website. These best practices should be implemented across the facility where chemicals are handled.

13. Resources

The proposed method for estimating effluent concentrations, the Declaration of the operator, the Conformity evaluation report and the method to calculate a facility-specific predicted environmental concentration (PEC) in surface water can be found in the Release Guidelines on the CEPA Registry website.
