Monday, September 21, 2020 Recommendations on Alberta’s Proposed Labour Mobility Legislation CLAC's submission to the Alberta government on the creation of Alberta’s Labour Mobility Act Policy Briefs CLAC has provided the Alberta government a series of recommendations regarding its proposed labour mobility legislation. Some workers who are qualified and recognized as a journeyperson in another province are not recognized as such in Alberta. This creates an inequity that serves as a barrier to labour mobility for those in skilled trades who wish to work in the province. CLAC’s recommendations cover four key areas. 1. Chapter 7 of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement should be used as a starting point for the creation of Alberta’s Labour Mobility Act. 2. The Alberta government should consider the creation of a labour mobility task force. The mandate of this body would be to identify existing barriers to labour mobility and propose possible solutions to the Alberta government. 3. The Alberta government should continue its efforts to have existing legislation and labour mobility agreements fully implemented and enforced. 4. Occupational health and safety and training standards and requirements should be a primary focus of the labour mobility task force. We invite you to read the full submission below.
