Should government workers be allowed to strike?

Yes, but only for non-essential services. Essential services should have labour courts to mediate strikes.

Yes, excluding Canada Post workers.

Yes, but they should stop whining and just work. The work will give them self satisfaction and possible reward. You're the one who needed a job, be grateful.

Yes, and the right to strike should not be infringed or revoked by governments, arbitrators, or anyone else.

Yes, but establish a labour court to prevent strikes but if workers want to go through with striking it is fully within their right. it is an act of protest and worker solidarity is something we should protect as that is what brings change to society and can help get rid of a horrible government in times of crisis like we have today.

They can strike as it is within their freedom rights to do that however, the government should have plans to keep these industries going when they do strike.

Yes, but only for non-essential services. In addition, there needs to be more requirements to strike because people are striking over the tiniest things.

it depends, which sector are we discussing - those who are considered to be essentials - for example, doctors, nurses etc. if they go on strike - that puts too much as risk. While they have protect their work rights and environment - the government should have a policy that may take care of them so they do not consider going on strike

Government jobs equate to job security which is not guaranteed in the private sector. Government workers have a golden pension, golden benefits and job security and this is worth at least 20 to 25% more than what average private sector equivalent jobs pay. STOP paying fat cat bureaucrats bonuses.

no government should have a union we should have a group of people that hold them accountable and fire them without pension when rules and laws are broken

Yes, all people should be able to demand better wages. They should already be provided enough for so they don't have to though.

Yes and ill do it again if I end up homeless with a federal job.

All people should be allowed to strike but they should maintain a minimal level of service

Yes, but only for non-essential services. Essential services should have a non-biased labour courts established to mediate strikes.

if the cause is reasonable or severe. otherwise no.

No government unions are an obvious conflict of interest.

No, most government workers are corrupt and lazy and they should be monitored 24/7 and fired if they aren't productive.

Yes, as it can be a release valve for workers to express frustrations, but there also needs to be a labour court or back to work legislation if the strike gets out of control.

No, but there should be a group of people to listen to their rights and work on it accordingly.

Workers should be allowed to strike for whatever reason. If workers aren't satisfied with their working conditions, how much they are paid, company policy or however it may be they should be able to go on strike indefinitely until appropriate action is taken to meet their needs.

freedom of speach

Yes, but with limits for essential services

Yes, but the protest should only last up to a few days if these services are critical for our country to function properly.

Yes, strikes are part of freedom of speech but if the workers cover an essential service that is needed to run a country it should be no more than 1 or 2 weeks every 6 months or so.

yes but peacefully

Yes, but you've got to have the ability to break up a strike if it gets out of hand.

Yes, but only for non-essential services. Also, the services that are considered essential and non-essential need to be better defined so the system is not exploited.

Yes, people should fullfill their needs about their work area, wage and rights

Yes, all workers should be allowed to strike

Yes, as there are legitimate concerns that do need to be heard, but some industries are incredibly important and deliver life-saving treatment (nurses, doctors) so we also need to do something about that as well that is in the best interests of both.

No, work to rule is enough

Government should not have monopolies

No, Unions have too much power. There should be no such thing as a full time union employee. It forces them to justify their positions existence even when things are going well.

Yes, but only with good reason.

No, not without a supporting vote from the people in the country

Yes, but only for non-essential services. Also not during any provincial or national holidays

Yes, any sector should be allowed to strike

There needs to be a way of negotiating put in place that works without the need to strike

No, it should be an agreed upon algorithm based on a set percentage above living wage in the locality

Yes, you should be allowed to strike but not allowed to stop giving services if you’re an essential worker

Yes. But need better mediators and labour courts to try to preempt strikes

No, unless non-unionized private sector workers can strike, too

No, and if it's non-essential, end it.

I think government workers should have some method of taking a stand but I am conflicted by the need for essential services to continue during these periods.

Yes, all types of workers should be allowed to strike.

Yes, but not for police.

only for police

If it is absolutely necessary

Rotating strikes to ensure there are still some working staff

Yes, but if they do they recieve a pay cut

Yes but forfeit all pay during the strike but keep their benefits while on strike.

Yes they should constantly until the government treats them better

No, nurses aren’t allowed to strike. You can strike in your off time

Yes, all workers in any industry should be allowed to strike.

Yes, Government workers should be allowed to strike but must be peaceful and cause no harm to objects or people.

Are they protected by union agreements? If so, then it is a right. It depends on the issues...if it is to bring awareness and justice to wrong doing, then yes. If it is for wage increases then no, they already make substantially excellent wages. Greed serves no one!

Yes anyone should be able to strike regardless

No, make them essential workers so that the contract will be decided by an independent arbitrator.

Yes, but without pay

i think they should be allowed to strike as long as the government did pay them or fired them for no reason.

Yes, but essential services should be striking on a rotating basis and strikes should not be permitted during school year. Also, if a university strikes, students should get a pro-rated refund

Yes, if it's about that which has been empirically, and inductively or deductively assessed reasonably, accounting for all relevant factors and does not contradict itself, and caters to most people's needs and desires.

Only if the government branch permits it, and it is not deemed an essential service.

Yes, anyone should be allowed to strike if they feel bad about something they don't agree with.

Everyone in the government gets replaced by someone who is happy to do it for less, many goverment jobs phased out as no longer needed due to ubi , online automated services that replace service centers, goverment offices no longer needed, counsellors no longer needed as citizens can vote on all issues via an online vote/survey, goverment simply fullfills the wishes of the people

yes, but it most not turn violent

Yes, but essential services will have to strike on a rotational basis

Yes, any workers in any industry should be allowed to strike.

Hours should be limited for essential workers if they are striking but it depends on the reason. For instance if it is due to a health and safety issue all of them should be able to strike, but if it is due to things such as a pay increase limited hours and restrictions on overtime seem more appropriate.

Yes and stop Messing with the post office their the only union u force back to work knock it off

Yes, but they should not be fined if they want to cross the line to go back to work instead of striking.

if its for our safety

No. Public sector employees should not be unionized. There should be legislative regulation of pay, benefits, etc

yes, but with limits for essential services. government workers should have the right to strike but only so long as they are not negatively impacting everyday life

yes, only if it's for a reasonable cause.

Only if it is needed

yes, but not at the stake of others.

Yes, like any other unionized worker. Military should also have a union. The are considered essential but they can strike in different ways like not following dress regulations or only operational objectives support only any other work can be refused.

Yes but only for violations of their employment agreements.

only if its going against their human rights

No, get rid of the unions.

Most people don't have a nice cushy government job that pays fairly well and has every benefit know to man. If they don't like making 40K a year then maybe they should go work at a Wally Mart!

Government workers have a right to strike but their strike should not disrupt the flow of everyday living

Yes, all services should be allowed to strike

depends on the severity of the situation

Yes, but they must keep doing their jobs

Yes, as it brings attention to underfunded services which might not be politically popular, and help finds political support for it.

The majority of government workers shouldn't have a union.

No, and abolish Unions. They were relevant when there was no work safety and employment laws to protect the individuals. Replace unions with oversight committees that ensure laws are respected.

No rebelling against the ruler will lead to punishments

Yes, any workers should be allowed to strike

Only if necessary.

i believe it depends and how severe it is. sometimes it’s all you can do to get your voice heard

yes, but only because protests such as strikes are part of our rights as Canadians

Yes, but not for frivolous reasons

They should be able to put a review that can be seen by the public so that a decision can be made by most people so that it suit everyone

This question is too ambiguous not all government workers are treated the same. Some have every right to strike and others have no right to complain about their jobs

Depending on the occupations and reason(s) for striking.
