Union bill changes nixed

The Canadian Press

OTTAWA–The Liberal government has set up a showdown with the Senate over whether workers should be required to unionize through a secret ballot.
The showdown is over one of the Liberal government’s first pieces of legislation, Bill C-4, which sought to overturn two labour laws passed under the previous Conservative government.
The Senate agreed with a portion of the Liberal bill that ends a requirement that unions publicly post details of their spending.
But it voted against provisions that would require workers to sign unionization cards instead of holding a secret ballot.
