Carney is such a moron. This is such a gift to MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre...
Didn't Trudeau do the exact same thing with another strike? Can't have had that much of an impact if Carney ended up with a majority.
E: Looks like he at least legislated Canada Post back to work in 2024, possibly more earlier.
Trudeau started using this vague section to bypass legislating but Carney is doubling down on it. And Carney only won because of Trump's direct attacks on Canada's sovereignty. And even on that front he is failing. He's acting like US bitch and at the same time trying to pass massive surveillance laws akin to US FISA to share the data with the US.
On Carney, he seems to be very similar to Stephen Harper. Imo this is less a missed opportunity by the liberals and more him being an ideologically-driven fascist doing exactly the things he wants to do.
What? Poilievre would do the same thing, if not make it worse. Governments have been doing this exact tactic for a couple decades now and unions have had their power eroded for some time. It's about time someone put a stick in the mud and said "Not this time!" Don't "My guy would be better" this shit, they are all complicit and don't delude yourself of that. Those fuckers are all on the same side, with different coloured Tshirts. They all play the game against us. And they've been ahead for way too long, we need to take the power back.
Are airline staff counted as critical workers? In the UK I think it's only Police, fire and military who are banned from striking.
No. But they are using/abusing vague section in the constitution to justify this on the economic means.
The union and airline have been in negotiations for a long time, and the goverment is using the lack of agreement after so long as a factor in forcing the two parties into binding arbitration, which greatly benefits the airline.
So they're not banned from striking, technically, but the government has measures in place to force the employees back to work. These measures have rarely been used in the past, but have been used 4 times in the past year against rail workers, port workers, postal workers, and now flight attendants.
These methods have been used more consistently in the past few decades around the globe. In the past ten years, especially since COVID, the script has flipped and the business sector is trying to squeeze every last cent of profit from every single quarter of every single market. Civilization is either about to end, or get very hard to live in. The rich are freaking out and trying to steal every penny they can get their hands on. I wonder why?
if it is illegal to go on strike, then this union is not a union. the power of the workers comes from the ability to withhold required manpower for operations to continue if you are treated poorly. when workers do not have this leverage, corporations will treat its employees as poorly as possible.
