In Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v. Saskatchewan, 2015 SCC 4, the Supreme Court
found that The Public Service Essential Services Act - “PSESA“, which created an absolute ban on the right to strike for unilaterally designated“ essential service employees ” , infringed on protected Charter rights. "Justice Rosalie Abella wrote for the majority in a 5-2 ruling.
"The right to strike also promotes equality in the bargaining process,” she wrote. “This Court has long recognized the deep inequalities that structure the relationship between employers and employees, and the vulnerability of employees in this context. While strike activity itself does not guarantee that a labour dispute will be resolved in any particular manner, or that it will be resolved at all, it is the possibility of a strike which enables workers to negotiate their employment terms on a more equal footing.”
Think about it, no ONE fight for you. Even Steven Harper himself fight for the benefits of the big corporations by reducing taxes, and you can predict if he loses the election, he will find another big salary job in these big corporations so easy as he fought for them before.
