Toronto, September 2, 2010 A survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has found that 84 per cent of the country's small businesses agree that employees should be protected from being forced to pay union dues in unionized workplaces. These views are consistent with those of most Canadians who favour an employee-led approach to union dues, and suggest that it's time to reconsider the laws that govern workplaces in Canada.
