Story summary

Patty Hajdu, Canada’s Jobs Minister, stated that the federal government will not interfere with workers’ right to strike despite considering legal changes to improve labour relations. The minister emphasized that upcoming legislation aims to reduce the number of times the government has to intervene in strikes under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. This section allows Ottawa to refer disputes to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, a measure employers and unions have differing views on. While most employers advocate for greater federal power to intervene during labour disruptions that could harm national interests, unions argue against any measures that might compromise their right to strike. Hajdu added that government intervention is a last resort and encouraged parties to resolve issues themselves at the negotiating table. The proposed amendments include introducing a special mediator role who will document arguments in acrimonious negotiations and publish reports identifying sticking points.
