Bill 84...Unfair,
unbalanced and unrealistic

Small and medium-sized businesses create 90% of the new jobs in today's economy.
With that kind of success, you'd think that the Harcourt government would listen to the
reasonable concerns that these women and men have about Bill 84, the provincial
government's new labour law.

Bill 84 all but takes away a worker's right to a secret ballot vote on union certification.
The bill leaves BC's small and medium-sized businesses wide-open to the threat of
secondary boycotts that could force them to unionize just to do business with the
government or unionized companies.

Maybe an open door,
but not an open mind

The Premier boasted that his “door was open." The Coalition of BC Businesses,
representing more than 36,000 small and medium-sized companies across BC, has put
forward some positive suggestions to improve Bill 84. Constructive solutions...offered in
300d faith to the government.

KE HARCOL
FREMIER OF B.C

These ideas are practical ways to create a better labour law...a law that would truly help
create a stable environment for economic recovery and jobs.

Harcourt and Sihota
just don't get it

Small and medium-sized businesses don't want to get special treatment, they want fair
treatment. All they want is a chance to do what they do best, and that's create jobs and a
strong economy for our province. Based on their record of creating jobs, why won't the
politicians listen to the people who really know how the economy runs?

Make your voice heard...

Phone Premier Harcourt at 253-7905 and
Labour Minister Moe Sihota at 387-1986
(collect) and speak out for a better labour law,
one that's truly fair and balanced for smail and
medium-sized businesses.

Sponsored by the Coalition of BC Businesses...Representing
over 36,000 small and medium-sized businesses across BC.
