The RCMP are about to form their first ever Union!
Bill C-7 basically explains what the membership can bargain on, and Trudeau and his fellow Liberals want to muzzle the RCMP on having any say on their safety and equipment. Leaving only their pay and benefits open for discussion.
RCMP are now 65th in pay out of police forces with over fifty members and their benefits are continuously being erroded!
Tell Trudeau to Respect the Lives of RCMP members!
Remove All Exclusions from Bill C-7 (except striking)
RCMP must be given unfettered voices, just like every other unionized Police force in Canada has.
"No worker is inherently vulnerable. Workers are made vulnerable by laws that facilitate relationships of inequality and laws that fail to address exploitation. We need to name both: how that inequality is constructed and who benefits from it."

One hundred signatures shows Trudeau that we are not going to let him ignore the safety of the RCMP. He thinks he can hide behind these exclusions but hitting this mark proves the pressure is building.

Working conditions are deplorable at many locations within mounted police. I was very nearly killed recently as a result. Please let us bargain on all issues related to compensation, benefits and working conditions.
We work day in and day out, and we have been without a contract since 2014, and when I joined 26 years ago we where number 2 or 3 in the Police Universe. Now we are lucky to be in the top 20, and we are the National police force. Just treat us with respect!
In the past decade we have have had our raises clawed back, the law rewritten regarding our pension, our Staff Relations reps ripped out from under us and people wonder why we have morale issues?? Please, please, please do something positive for a change. We NEED this.
Please amend this bill so that it is fair for us. We deserve that. My family and I have given and continue to do so. We are in our third province and my spouse has had to "start over " three times. It is difficult enough already. Thank you.
Safety and equipment are essential in our line of work....lack of these are exactly why members are dying in the line of duty. We should have say.... And why exactly are we paid less than other police forces and why have a lot of our benefits been taken away?
Long overdue

The Canadian gov't must respect the spirit in which collective bargaining power was granted to the RCMP by the Supreme Court. As presented by the house of commons C-7 is a clear attempt to subvert and remove the teeth from this hard fought court battle.
