The Federal government introducing legislation (Bill c-39) that undermines the right to strike of thousands of federally regulated workers in industries like shipping, airlines, postal and rail workers even more so than the draconian Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. The federal Liberals are using the current tariff crisis to ensure the scales are tipped even more in favour of the employers.
At the provincial level in Ontario thousands of healthcare workers are fighting to regain their to strike from the Ford government.
