Morning, crosgre!
Please read the comments following this article.
Supply chain may be not affected directly, because warehouse stuff works by shifts anyway, in most.

If we do not get an exemption in the trucking business it can be very damaging if you don't give your drivers proper notice that they have to work longer on a certain day they can refuse to work late or you need to change their start time for the next day and their is nothing you can do about it. With that being said I think a good number of drivers would not be an issue but imagine if even 10 percent held you to the new rules it wold be devastating. Thank the Liberals for 1 more rule that f*cks with business, who needs unions.
