Howard Levitt: The government’s promise to improve the lives of many Canadians couldn’t be better timed — scant weeks before the federal election

The Liberal government’s promise to legislate “work-life balance” for federal employees is smoke and mirrors, a pandering virtue signal designed to obtain votes, heedless of its likely impact on employment.

At least vacation can be planned, and even stipulated, by the employer. Many of these changes call for time off with little or no advance notice. Unplanned days off, without the opportunity to arrange overtime in advance or to call in extra personnel, is more costly yet. As of Sept. 1, an employee can ask for changes to their schedule, their hours and their work location. Employers will likely be flooded with these requests. But most unionized jobs are rigidly defined and do not offer the flexibility the government has promised. A bank teller can’t do much working from home, nor can a flight attendant.

The right to refuse overtime for unspecified “family responsibilities” will be a recipe for many to avoid it, even when there is a genuine business emergency that requires handling.

This is a good thing and long overdue

Off course... how dare do we put the quality of life of workers ahead of shareholders profits?
