On Amendment 78, we want to make sure that fire and rehire will not be used to reduce employees’ rights for those employed in the private sector and the public sector alike. This amendment will clarify when public and private sector employers can use fire and rehire for restricted variations under the exemption in the clause. This will mean that in both the private and public sectors, fire and rehire for restricted variations can be used only if the employer is facing severe financial difficulties, so that this practice is only available in the narrowest of circumstances.
