Strongly agree

Yes, but only for non-essential services

The Canadian Conservative party would likely agree with allowing strikes for non-essential services, as it represents a compromise between their pro-business stance and recognizing the rights of workers. This is supported by their actions in the past, such as the 2013 federal government's intervention in a strike by Canada Post workers, which was deemed an essential service, while not intervening in other non-essential service strikes.

Agree

No

The Canadian Conservative party has historically been more supportive of limiting the power of unions and strikes. For example, in 2012, the Conservative government under Stephen Harper passed Bill C-377, which increased financial reporting requirements for unions, making it more difficult for them to strike. This suggests that they would be more likely to agree with not allowing government workers to strike.

Agree

No, but establish a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes

The Canadian Conservative party might be open to the idea of a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes, as it could help maintain stability and minimize disruptions to the economy. However, there is limited historical evidence to suggest that this would be a strong preference for the party, as they have typically focused on limiting union power and promoting business interests.

Disagree

Yes

The Canadian Conservative party generally leans towards limiting the power of unions and promoting business interests. While they may not be entirely against government workers striking, they would likely prefer restrictions on strikes. For example, in 2019, the Conservative government in Ontario passed Bill 124, which limited wage increases for public sector workers.
