Union says labour law exemption for Elections P.E.I. erodes workers’ rights

Elections P.E.I. exemptions wouldn’t set precedent, province says

The Union of Public Sector Employees is concerned about changes coming to P.E.I.’s labour laws.

Elections P.E.I. will soon be exempt from the requirement to offer some workers paid holidays, lunch breaks and a day off each week.

UPSE, which represents more than 5,000 public and private sector workers on the Island, says the labour law exemption sets a bad precedent and is unfair to workers.
