@8PS9XBV4yrs4Y
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.
@B35PD2Q2mos2MO
yes. Also if the government has to pass legislation putting workers back to work a separate "essential service" category should be added to the current "essential services".
@B2H2BPL3mos3MO
Yes. The working class holds its power in labour. Though, unions were designed to combat the profit motive - such motive doesn’t exist in the public sector. It’s a tricky issue. I don’t disagree with the idea of replacing striking workers in low skilled jobs even in the private sector, the power of labour doesn’t not come through legislation, it comes from labour, skill and the value thereof. Everyone has the right to strike, everyone should earn a fair, living wage. At the same time, services need to be rendered and labour needs to be provide value. This is where privatization comes in, government regulates, pays but should not own a dump truck. It’s hard to hold people accountable when the buck stops with no one in the chain of, I mean to say, no one has their money on the line.
@9QZCYDN9mos9MO
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.
@9QQF69410mos10MO
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
if the cause is reasonable or severe. otherwise no.
@9MLMKLWConservative11mos11MO
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
@9F3YN582yrs2Y
Yes and ill do it again if I end up homeless with a federal job.
@95J9PCR3yrs3Y
Yes, but with limits for essential services
@93WL6VF3yrs3Y
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.
@GizemNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, people should fullfill their needs about their work area, wage and rights
@9397NT23yrs3Y
No, work to rule is enough
@8VKD4HP4yrs4Y
Government should not have monopolies
@8VC4CHC4yrs4Y
No, not without a supporting vote from the people in the country
@8V95QN24yrs4Y
Yes, any sector should be allowed to strike
@8TNDXCT4yrs4Y
Yes, all types of workers should be allowed to strike.
@8TJVR924yrs4Y
Yes, but not for police.
@8TJ9H5XLibertarian4yrs4Y
If it is absolutely necessary
@8TFB5L64yrs4Y
Rotating strikes to ensure there are still some working staff
@8TCHJB34yrs4Y
Yes, but if they do they recieve a pay cut
@8T8PGV94yrs4Y
yes and allow for multiple comeating unions
@8T88Q9Q4yrs4Y
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
@8RJ5L744yrs4Y
Yes, all workers in any industry should be allowed to strike.
@8QVZRGH4yrs4Y
Yes, Government workers should be allowed to strike but must be peaceful and cause no harm to objects or people.
@8QMCDSX4yrs4Y
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!
@8PXK8WV4yrs4Y
Yes anyone should be able to strike regardless
@8PNRMDN4yrs4Y
No, make them essential workers so that the contract will be decided by an independent arbitrator.
@8PL36KS4yrs4Y
@8PBZMK84yrs4Y
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
@8PB7P2X4yrs4Y
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.
@8P9CY8Q4yrs4Y
Only if the government branch permits it, and it is not deemed an essential service.
@8P4P98S4yrs4Y
Yes, anyone should be allowed to strike if they feel bad about something they don't agree with.
@8P3F3JT4yrs4Y
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
@8HYJT5G5yrs5Y
yes, but it most not turn violent
@8D4X4PW5yrs5Y
Yes, any workers in any industry should be allowed to strike.
@8CRV6LZ5yrs5Y
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.
@98HT6QD2yrs2Y
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.
@9862DL72yrs2Y
only if its going against their human rights
@97WPXL82yrs2Y
Government workers have a right to strike but their strike should not disrupt the flow of everyday living
@96G4YCT3yrs3Y
depends on the severity of the situation
@92274HB3yrs3Y
No rebelling against the ruler will lead to punishments
@8ZSJL5B3yrs3Y
Yes, any workers should be allowed to strike
@8Z47MQG3yrs3Y
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
Depending on the occupations and reason(s) for striking.
@8VT5WXK4yrs4Y
Yes, everybody should be allowed to strike
@8VKGMPQ4yrs4Y
No. Government workers already get so much more than most and many don't work as hard as "regular" people.
@8PYXCGL4yrs4Y
Yes, all employees should be allowed to strike in any industry.
@8TCG9Q44yrs4Y
Yes, but only for non-essential services; government workers like soldiers should have another way of expressing displeasure that does not place the country in danger
@8SHNHYV4yrs4Y
Yes, anyone should be allowed to strike
@8SFWYKW4yrs4Y
sure as long as its peaceful
@8DC736T5yrs5Y
Yes, I'd go further as to say we should allow them to strike and any type of workers should be allowed to strike. But I do support Labour Courts, but not to stop them, but as a "Labour Oversight Board" Which I believe anyone 18 years of age or older should be required to serve on at least for 4 years, renewability unlimited, as soon as you turn 18 you'd be mandated to register for a position based off of courses taken in High School and taking in post-secondary, if you are in post-secondary.
