The full text of section 107 says that the federal minister responsible for labour may “do such things as to the Minister seem likely to maintain or secure industrial peace and to promote conditions favourable to the settlement of industrial disputes or differences and to those ends the Minister may refer any question to the Board or direct the Board to do such things as the Minister deems necessary.”

Since June 2024, section 107 has been invoked eight times to interfere with bargaining or end strikes, including those by postal workers, flight attendants and railway workers.

“When big corporations complain, the government caves,” Gazan said while tabling the bill on Monday. “This is a direct violation of workers’ rights, the right to strike and the right to free collective bargaining. These rights were won through generations of struggle and sacrifice, yet government after government violates the rights of workers whenever it is politically convenient.”

In practice, very little. People who are in unions tend to be a lot of other things first. Historically unions have endorsed the NDP, but the NDP never got close to actual federal power.

They can stop work. That's close to the only thing they can do, and they usually don't want to.

they also abandoned the ndp en-mass when they thought their vote mattered and voted liberal, now they are crying that the liberals are forcing them back to work.. ( the stewardesses were right and SHOULD have told them to fu** themselves ). the canada post union ( and let be honest they are a union that only exists for a government job that already has fantastic benefits) claims that everyday mail delivery is essential to canada, but still tried to shut mail down over christmas, the most important time of the year for mail.

by their own actions, they prove that mail is not essential as it is not as important as their money/ benefits package.

that was a LOT of power and they seriously damaged the canadian economy right before things went from bad to even worse.

personally i think canada post should be broken up by province and made a provincial crown corp .

no canadian organization should have the power to damage canada that only could compare to a war or a foreign nations actions.
