3 union leaders banned from N.B. legislature over noisy protest

Jeering during pension bill vote was ‘unacceptable,' CUPE officials told in letter

Three top public-sector union leaders are banned from the New Brunswick legislature and surrounding buildings and grounds over a noisy attempt to interrupt a vote by MLAs last December.

Steve Drost, Sandy Harding and Sharon Teare, all senior officials with the Canadian Union of Public Employees, were banned a few days after the incident.

They were in the legislature's public gallery on Dec. 12 with dozens of CUPE members for the final vote on legislation forcing their pensions into a shared-risk system, which they say is contrary to their labour contract with the province.

Members jeered loudly, all but drowning out the sound of the legislature clerk calling the names of MLAs as they voted, a clear violation of the rules for visitors.

"Your behaviour … by disrupting the proceedings of the legislative assembly by shouting and chanting has been deemed as unacceptable," the legislature's sergeant-at-arms Gilles Côté said in a letter dated Dec. 20.

Despite the noise, the vote was not disrupted. It proceeded and the legislation passed.

Union leaders banned from N.B. legislature

Duration 1:13
Three public-sector union officials are banned from the legislature over a noisy protest from the visitor's gallery during a vote on a bill.

"I think some of our members were upset that day, and I think they were being a bit boisterous," Drost said in an interview.

"I think it's ridiculous. I think it's overreach, but one of the ways to try and deal with your opponent is forbid them from playing in the game." 

According to the letter, the ban is indefinite and applies to what's known as Parliament Square, a one-block area that includes the main legislature building, two adjacent buildings used by MLAs and staff, and the grounds.

Drost is CUPE's president in New Brunswick, Harding is the union's regional director, and Teare is president of the New Brunswick Council of Nursing Home Unions, a CUPE union.

All three have been frequent visitors to the legislature during disputes with the province. 

The clerk of the legislature, Shayne Davies, refused to say in an email whether they can do anything to have it lifted.

"We have no comment," he said. 

Speaker Bill Oliver has the authority to restrict access to the building and grounds on his own.

The letter to the CUPE leaders says the legislature "has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for all members, staff and visitors to the legislative precincts without disruptions or interference."

Green MLA and house leader Kevin Arseneau said the ban was not discussed or approved by the all-party legislative administration committee, which he sits on and which meets in secret.

Arseneau, who was himself banned from the legislature as a young agricultural activist in 2015, said he opposed the CUPE decision.

(Ed Hunter/CBC)

The government didn't win a majority of the popular vote in the last election and makes top-down decisions in the Premier's Office, Arseneau said.

"What tools are actually left to everyday citizens and to opposition, to fight this kind of bill?" he said. 

"Even though it was very loud, I think that was a lot of people not knowing what else to do to be heard." 

Arseneau's ban was lifted a year later when he became president of the Acadian Society of New Brunswick. The then-Speaker said he was making an exception because Arseneau represented a large segment of the province's population.

Exploring legal options 

Drost said CUPE's lawyers are examining whether they have a legal route to challenge the ban. 

In general, courts in Canada have ruled that a legislature's internal proceedings aren't subject to review by judges. 

CUPE is already in court asking for the pension legislation to be struck down as an unconstitutional violation of their collective bargaining rights.

The bill forced the union into an arbitration process with only one possible outcome: a shift of their pensions into the same shared-risk regime other provincial bargaining units began adopting in 2014. 

The CUPE locals argue that their contract, signed in 2021, explicitly says their previous pension plan would remain in place for the duration of the agreement, despite a side deal to look at the pension issue.

Last fall, Premier Blaine Higgs said CUPE was stalling on that, and the legislation was needed to resolve the issue.

CUPE's legal challenge, including an application for an interim injunction, was due to be heard this week. But last week the judge in the case granted the province's request to delay the case until August.

You might want to brush up on the rights of legislatures dating back hundreds of years, which includes the right to meet without outside interference or disruption. It is only public to the extent that the legislature allows it to be public. Indeed, if the legislature so choose it could refuse to allow anyone in the gallery at any time.

As for your "unceded land" argument - that and $1.99 will get you a double-double at the courthouse coffee ship.

Suggest you do a lot of research on history. If the leg closed itself to public scrutiny, it would not last long. Do you think things change without protest? This is old news and has happened before, and will happen again. Your last comment is typical of this government and is the cause of another problem that has to be put dealt with.

Actually the right of the legislature to conduct its business unimpeded by disruption trumps any rights you imagine you have, and that right dates back hundreds of years.. Nor is that right subject to any appeal .

You do not even have the legal right to be in the gallery - any member can clear the gallery at any time by advising the speaker of the presence of "strangers"

New Brunswick Government is growing more and more corrupt as they are
now banning union leaders and members from legislative proceedings.

Premier Higgs has already done enough damage to New Brunswick as a result of not using their massive annual budget surpluses to give their employees fair pay increases, fix some highways in bad condition like TCH 16 which connects the province to Prince Edward Island, failure to give adequate cost of living allowances, make the dikes important interprovincial border areas like Chignecto Isthmus
separating New Brunswick from Nova Scotia, and now they are kicking out union leaders and its members for jeering unpopular changes to pension laws.

With New Brunswick heading for a provincial elections later this year, if Blaine Higgs and the Progressive Conservatives want to remain in power, they have to start listening to its people more.


Don Corey
Reply to Jackie Barrett
The Chignecto Isthmus clearly falls under federal jurisdiction.

All the high cost of living issues are easily traced back to actions (or lack thereof) of the federal government.

Provincial government employees receive excellent wage and benefit plans, despite your claim otherwise.

Union protestors are expected to follow the rules of the legislature, just like everyone else. Why do you think they're entitled to special treatment?

New Brunswick has been heading downhill ever since Blaine Higgs became Premier.

If Higgs and the Progressive Conservatives want to remain in power after the 2024 Provincial Elections, they have to start listening to the people.

At the end of the day, when New Brunswick has a $1 billion annual budget surplus, and doesn't reinvest it for better roads, affordability matters, better healthcare system, affordable housing, or levy upgrading along its border with Nova Scotia, you know that something is wrong.

michael levesque
its interesting how Mr Drost thinks that all New Brunswick Tax Payers should be responsible to fund the pensions of Union members. Union members should put their big boy pants on and join the shared risk program which other Government employee have done. Mr Drost some New Brunswickers have no pension and should not fund those lucky enough to have a Government job.


Don Corey
Reply to michael levesque
Drost, like most others, doesn't even understand that the shared risk plans are still very much a defined-benefit plan; but with the "shared risk" component. They are still very costly plans (paid for by NB
taxpayers) and 99% of private sector workers would love to be in one.
They're not, because employers just can't afford them.

The tax payer pays their wages and benefits; Higgs has already legislated the shared risk pension plan.

I think back 2 or 3 years to when CUPE was holding a news conference with respect to strike action for workers who had not received a pay raise in four years. Suddenly, across the TV screen waltzes Blaine
Higgs, acting like a bully, who hijacked the event. Seems Mr. HIggs likes to dish it out but takes offense when he fails to negotiate as required by law. Shame Shame.

Reply to Deborah Reddon
Do you also remember Higgs had tens of union contracts to negotiate , and yet he got them all done , other than this one contract , that's costing NB taxpayers hundreds of millions every 10 years or so ? And as with all other unions who transferred to the much better " defined pension " plan , NB taxpayers are not having to top them up every few years . And , although the left press has failed to actually ask the heads of those unions their feelings on the plans , others have asked and gotten very positive answers , including that the funds are actually highly funded for decades into the future , and that the COL they received is much higher than in the " shared risk " plan . And most important , it doesn't cost the NB taxpayer one extra penny !

"I think some of our members were upset that day, and I think they were being a bit boisterous," Drost said in an interview.

And Drost was right there leading the charge. As the CUPE president of NB, it would appear that (not surprisingly) he felt he had no responsibility to control the actions of his members.

Drost fits the mold (looks, talks, acts) like many of the militant union leaders back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. He doesn't seem to have accepted the reality that such behaviour wasn't all that effective back then, and doesn't work at all today.

But he still gets a salary and benefits that all the CUPE members paying him can only dream of.


Lou Bell

Reply to Don Corey
As does the head of the Medical Society and Nurses Union . Made it into personal agenda's , nothing more . Promises that would cost NB taxpayers well into the hundreds of millions over the next few years . The same taxpayers of which 75 % have no pensions at all , and yet are expected to put hundreds of millions into the pensions of our public employees .


Don Corey
Reply to Lou Bell
This site has been quite effective in (falsely) convincing readers that the shared risk plans are terrible, but they're actually still a very generous defined benefit plan (never mentioned here!!!); just with a shared-risk component. They certainly are still very costly to NB taxpayers.

Higgs needs to realize that these types of punishments and lessons that worked in the corporate world of Irving do not apply when dealing with the public. These tactics will probably backfire and wind the
protestors up even more tightly. This is what happens when the premier acts on emotion.

I was sitting in the balcony of the legislature a few years ago and while the Conservatives had the floor and was discussing something and questioning the Liberals about something, the Liberals were all
sitting on the opposite side, totally ignoring every word the Conservative member was saying, so totally disrespectful. The Liberals weren't even smart enough to realize that the public was sitting in the balcony watching them. I have no doubt the union leaders were fed up with the disrespectful behavior of the MLAs from both parties totally ignoring their concerns. I think the public should have more say in what happens on the floor of the legislature and hold MLAs responsible for their behavior. This province has gone so far off the rails in holding MLAs accountable for their failure to address pertinent issues in this province. MLAs should be able to be fired by their constituents.

> Contract talks have been taking place with the New Brunswick

> According to the union, the province's offer is a six per cent

> Steve Drost Elected President of CUPE NB
>
> This Saturday April 24 2021, Steve Drost has been elected for a 2-year
> term as provincial president of the New Brunswick Division of the
> Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE NB). More than 200 delegates,
> representing CUPE locals from across the province, elected Drost to
> lead New Brunswick’s largest union. The vote was conducted Saturday
> afternoon at CUPE NB’s 58th annual convention, which took place
> virtually, Friday and Saturday.
>
> “I will do my best each and every day for all our members, to make
> sure we are truly listening and making CUPE NB a grassroots, member
> driven Division. I am honoured to be your president,” said Drost to
> delegates. Drost, who has been vice-president of CUPE NB for the last
> two years, takes the place of President Brien Watson.
>
> “I have been working for over 44 years in the education sector, so I
> am looking forward for retirement,” said Brien Watson.  “I wish Steve
> all the best in his new role,” said Watson.
>
> “It’s an honour to follow in the foots steps of Brother Watson, who
> diligently served his 2-year term as Division President. He picked up
> the “Bargaining Forward” campaign, and took head-on the enormous
> curveball that is COVID-19,” said Drost.
>
> Sharon Teare, herself a Personal Care worker at St John & St Stephen
> Home in Saint John and President of the NB Council of Nursing Home
> Unions, has been elected for a one-year term as  CUPE NB’s First
> Vice-President. Drost and Teare will join Kim Copp on the CUPE NB
> inner executive. Copp is currently the CUPE NB Secretary Treasurer and
> works as an LPN at the Forestdale Home in Riverside Albert.
>
> “With those two great leaders by my side, we have what it takes to
> mount the challenge against Blaine Higgs’s “Zeros for our Heroes” wage
> freeze plans and his anti-worker politics,” said Drost.
>
> Drost has been president of CUPE Local 1418, Rehabilitation and
> Therapy since 2013. He began his career as a practising social worker
> in 1988. At present he is a Clinical 3 Social Worker and has been
> practising front line Social Work in Child Welfare his entire career.
>
> “Brother Drost is a dedicated activist. I’m confident our Division and
> the labour movement will grow even stronger under his leadership,”
> said Brien Watson.
