Alberta Considering Strict Workplace Fines, But Opposition is Strong
Alberta, Canada might soon implement a law that would impose fines of as much as $10,000 upon employers that have collected repeated violations of workplace safety ordinances. However, the potential law is not without its detractors, as the Alberta Construction Association has come out in opposition to the measure, saying that the efficacy of the law is questionable and the law is too vague in and of itself. A separate ticketing system is also being considered by the government; that system has also caught flak, though, because employees could potentially be the ones receiving a citation costing hundreds of dollars.
