Back-to-Work Debate On

Debate on the back to work legislation is underway in the House of Commons.

MP's were to head home Friday, but debate on the bill to end Canada Post's lock-out of its workers isn't likely to come to an end sometime Saturday.

Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says he can't support the bill.

"We have a government that believes it's okay to look into collective agreements," says Rafferty, "get rid of collective bargaining, lock workers out and then to bring forward back-to-work legislation, that if you read it, is disastrous for postal workers and good for Canada Post."

Rafferty says he won't have his say on the bill until today or early Saturday morning.
