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.”
yes i see that they demand zero job losses even though the company has lost over 1 billion dollars in the last year. i see that they demanded ZERO changes to services by law since 2014 ( or there abouts) canada post is NOT a service. and it is no longer essential. there is no human right to mail at your door EVERY DAY ( even if it is only a flyer). that day has passed. about 30 years ago. how about people who want mail to their door pay the full cost? you would not stand for that for a minute. anything that requires someone elses forced labor is not a human right.
“things that are human right” are not the only services the government should provide
no. you do not get to demand luxury items from the government for free. mail to your door everyday is not something you need to survive.
mail to your door every day is only a luxury that only has existed in the last 40 years and now you demand it.
it should have been ended in 2005 but the union refused to see how the world was going and kept demanding JOBS FOR LIFE.
IF THE UNION HAD GONE TO 1 day a week delivery in 2010 canada post could go forever. right now it is costing every person child or adult $50 a year to operate and that is only going to go up.
( do the math 40 million canadians over 2 billion of loses)
People should have an option to get official government notices, and other important notices from companies through a service that is not owned by capitalism. Sounds like it isn’t for free if everyone is paying for it lol
they do. ever heard of the internet? just sign up and all government info is accessed for free. companies are begging you to sign up and save them $1 postage.
Did you not read my comment?
you mean? “People should have an option to get official government notices, and other important notices from companies through a service that is not owned by capitalism. Sounds like it isn’t for free if everyone is paying for it lol”
how do you think democracy works? or here is a better one HOW DO YOU THINK CANADA works? you take money from capitalists and spend it on what people vote for…
every service exists thanks to capitalists in canada. even the government CHARGES YOU AND MAKES A PROFIT off of documents and fees. that is CAPITALISM.
let me guess you dont have a job or have never looked at your pay stub…
