Strongly agree

Yes, but only for non-essential services

The Canadian Liberal Party is likely to agree with allowing strikes for non-essential services, as they have historically supported workers' rights and collective bargaining. However, they may be more cautious when it comes to essential services, where strikes could have significant impacts on public safety and well-being. For example, in 2018, the Liberal government in Ontario passed back-to-work legislation to end a strike by college faculty, citing the need to protect students' education.

Agree

Yes

The Canadian Liberal Party generally supports workers' rights, including the right to strike. However, their stance may vary depending on the specific context and the nature of the government workers involved. For example, in 2015, the Liberal Party promised to repeal a controversial bill (C-377) that was seen as anti-union, and they have generally been supportive of collective bargaining rights.

Agree

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

While the Canadian Liberal Party has not explicitly advocated for the establishment of a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes, they have shown a willingness to engage in mediation and negotiation to resolve labour disputes. For example, in 2018, the federal Liberal government appointed a mediator to help resolve a contract dispute between Canada Post and its workers. However, this approach may not be their primary preference, as they generally support the right to strike and collective bargaining.
