Industry’s message to the government was that its traditional tool to use for binding arbitration, Section 107 of the Canadian Labour Code, can only be applied too late in the labour dispute process and from its perspective, does not adequately prevent the damage caused from a work stoppage.
That is not even how the government is supposed to use it yet in recent years it’s the Liberals’ crutch to screw over workers when needed. Industry wants a shortcut to just skip over the performative period of several months of not giving concessions.
I guess we’ll see more wildcat strikes.
Gross.
I’d be happier if we outlawed including binding arbitration in contracts and terms of services instead.
seems like another clear charter violation.
People strike when it’s illegal. Force gets met with force, the side that wins explains why you (corporations/government) try so hard to have non-violent strikes.
