Market Impact

Canada's Jobs Minister, Patty Hajdu, announced a second, more focused round of consultations to modernize the Canada Labour Code.

While the government seeks to foster industrial peace, the Nigeria Labour Congress, led by Bea Bruske, fears the review could weaken workers' right to strike.
