Speaker Menin says worker safeguards in horse carriage ban bill must be ‘beefed up’
City Council Speaker Julie Menin says the horse carriage ban bill, Romanch's Law, needs stronger job protections for industry workers. The bill, which aims to transition carriage workers to other employment, faces opposition from the Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100, which calls for extensive worker consultations before implementing retraining programs.
