http://www.radio4all.net/program/57834Podcast for Program: Julie Guard on Stephen Harper's labour policy and threats to public pensionsSun, 19 Feb 2012 12:07:14 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/57834Since the May 2011 election, the Canadian federal government has actively undermined the ability of workers to bargain collectively. The Conservative majority government of Stephen Harper has also cut spending on programs that benefit workers and lower-income Canadians. More cuts are likely coming, possibly to Old Age Security, other income-security program and public-sector pensions. Julie Guard, professor and coordinator at the Labour Studies Program of the University of Manitoba, talks about strategies to fight attacks on workers and on lower-income Canadians.
