The right to strike is a cornerstone of Canadian democracy — but Section 107 gives the government power to silence workers and side with corporations.
Bill C-247 would repeal it for good.
Support Bill C-247 and protect the right to strike.
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 our recent strike. Air Canada/ Air Canada Rouge 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.
Remember, wear your green lanyard and green wrist band, we start the wage arbitration the month and need to show one another we are worth more. Stop by your local office if you are in need of a lanyard or wristband, we have some still available.
In solidarity,
