A new poll by Leger suggests Canadians are supportive of government intervention in the labour disputes at ports and at Canada Post.
Polling firm Leger found 63 per cent of respondents to a new survey were in favour of the Liberal government’s move to step in and ask the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order a resumption of port operations and move negotiations into binding arbitration. Nineteen per cent were opposed, and another 19 per cent said they didn’t know.
Canadians were more familiar with the strike at Canada Post than the lockout at the ports, with 86 per cent saying they had heard that postal workers could walk off the job, compared to 67 per cent who were familiar with the port dispute.
