Canada Moves Forward On Protecting Jobs For Reservists

Righteous decision and another promise from Harper kept but then again that is not surpising he keeps doing that.

<blockquote> The strategy will include legislative changes which will protect the civilian jobs of reservists who work for employers in federally-regulated sectors and the public service. </blockquote> Have you ever bothered to see where the bulk of Canada's recruits originate? Sure as shootin' ain't the "federally-regulated sectors and the public service"! Yes -- Harper certainly does it again!

What a bizarre, if not shamless PR announcment this this.
First, does this imply that government workers would be threatened with dismissal if they requested a leave of absence to do service in the CF? This just sounds ridiculous to me for some reason...
Second, this will not make a difference to at least 97% of reservists. Really, any attempt to do so for the rest of us would be uninforceable. This could not ban any company from lay-offs as long as it could come up with any other possible/non-related reason for doing so, personally, I wouldn't want to return to work at such a place if this was the case.
