flag NDP to introduce bill this fall to end government-imposed strike arbitration under Canada Labour Code.

flag The NDP plans to introduce a private member's bill this fall to eliminate Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, which allows the government to end strikes through binding arbitration. flag NDP labour critic Alexandre Boulerice says the provision has been misused by both Liberal and Conservative governments, notably during the Air Canada flight attendants' strike when then-Labour Minister Patty Hajdu invoked it. flag The union representing the workers, CUPE, supports the move and has pledged not to comply if the section is used against its members. flag The bill aims to reduce government interference in labour disputes and streamline conflict resolution.
