What the bill does

• Bill C-284 would amend the Canada Labour Code to prohibit an employer, during a strike or lockout, from using certain management or confidential industrial-relations personnel to perform the duties of employees in the affected bargaining unit.
• It was introduced at first reading on June 8, 2026.

Key change and who it affects

• The bill would replace paragraph 94(4)(c) of the Code. That paragraph currently refers to employees whose normal workplace is elsewhere or who were transferred to the affected workplace after notice to bargain collectively was given.
• The replacement would also cover people who perform management functions or work in a confidential capacity on industrial-relations matters, where they meet the same workplace or transfer conditions.
• It affects employers and those personnel during strikes or lockouts, as well as employees in the bargaining unit whose duties are covered by the restriction.

Deadlines and costs
