Reverting to the Open Shop model

DOWNLOAD THE PRESENTATION. This was a presentation to the Economic Club of Canada in Ottawa and paves a path to re-creating the Open Shop in Canada

Merit Canada is the national voice of eight provincial open shop construction associations.

“The term, “open shop,” simply describes a workplace where membership or non­-membership in a union is not a condition of employment.” This means getting trying to eliminate unions, nothing less.

1st Ballot for NDP Leader
Thought on Labour

“The majority of any society comprised, Smith knew, not landlords or merchants, but "servants, laborers, and workmen of different kinds," who derived their income from wages. Their welfare was the prime concern of economic policy, as Smith conceived it. "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable," he wrote. "It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe and lodge the whole body of the people should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged." The chief economic concern of the legislator, in Smith's view, ought to be the purchasing power of wages, since that was the measure of the material well-being of the bulk of the population. (p. 64)” ― Jerry Z. Muller, The Mind and the Market: Capitalism in Western Thought
