Experts say circumstances are making it hard for Ottawa to stay on the sidelines
As the Canada Post strike drags into a fourth week, experts say there’s growing pressure on the government to act as the business community’s calls for intervention get louder.
In decades past, a Canada Post strike would have had much more widespread consequences — particularly when most people received their pay via cheques, said Ian Lee, an associate professor at Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business. Calls for government intervention have been mounting from the business community, with groups like the Retail Council of Canada saying the strike is harming businesses more each day.
Eidlin and others have warned that Ottawa’s use of section 107 set a dangerous precedent that undermined collective bargaining.
