The right to strike is supposed to be protected in Canada. But Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code gives the government the power to suspend that right — tipping the scales in favour of corporations, behind closed doors, with no accountability.
That’s exactly what happened during the recent CUPE flight attendants’ strike. Air Canada counted on the government to silence workers — and they used Section 107 to do it.
Now, we have a chance to stop that from ever happening again.
Bill C-247, introduced by NDP MP Don Davies, would repeal Section 107 for good.
Send a letter to your MP urging them to support Bill C-247 — and defend the right to strike.
