Federal public-service strike lands in middle of political battle for working class
The federal NDP leader visited the picket line near Parliament Hill multiple times this week, appearing to be the only party leader to have shown face-to-face support to the thousands of public servants who walked off the job starting Wednesday.
The Liberal government agreed under the deal to provide 10 paid sick days to federally regulated workers, and said in this year’s federal budget that it would introduce legislation this year banning the use of replacement workers during strikes or lockouts in federally regulated industries. Although Poilievre regularly attacks Trudeau for his elite exterior, the Tory leader’s nearly 20 years in the House of Commons shows a record of supporting back-to-work legislation.
This week, Calgary MP Stephanie Kusie, who serves as the party’s critic for the Treasury Board in Parliament, told reporters the striking public servants are also paying high prices, thanks to inflation. Singh himself has ruled out helping the government pass any legislation of the kind, raising questions about what that could mean for the NDP-Liberal deal, slightly more than a year old.
