Labour Code Update and Strike Rights | Vancouver News

The federal government is revamping how it handles big labor disputes, aiming to nudge employers and workers toward earlier talks and reduce government intervention. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is pushing for modernized tools to foster industrial peace—especially in the rare cases where negotiations collapse—while reassuring unions that the right to strike remains untouched. Critics say initial consultations were rushed and worry employers might expect the government to favor them, but officials insist they’re not seeking to weaken strike rights. With a second round of consultations this summer, the focus is on refining Section 107, which has been used in high-profile disputes like those at railways and Canada Post, and improving the process for first-time collective bargaining.
