One of the country's largest unions says a small change promised in the federal budget could leave a large impact on efforts to prevent Canada from being flooded with cheap goods that threaten domestic industries.
Once the legislative changes are made, labour groups like the United Steelworkers union can launch trade challenges without the need to have an employer join the cause.
Meg Gingrich, assistant to the Steelworkers' national director, said the change will also mean that dispute panels will look at the impact on workers when adjudicating any dispute, beyond whether there are layoffs. Last year, the government began looking at updating trade dispute rules to give workers greater participation in the process.
