If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they’re too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. “Back to work” legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.
“Sorry, you’re too important to Canada’s infrastructure, you can’t be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they’ll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike.”
I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I’m just a dirty commie.
I’d be more disgruntled if I was forced back. I’m ignorant, I have no idea what that law actually entails but I’m the kind of person I’d be so disgruntled I’d probably just walk and do something else lol.

Why would the NDP have to force an election? You mean like a non confidence vote or something?
