Charter protects the right to strike
In another historic labour decision, Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v. Saskatchewan, the Supreme Court of Canada has held that the freedom of association guarantee in s. 2(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects employees’ right to strike.
This decision comes on the heels of the Mounted Police Association of Ontario decision, in which the Court held that the guarantee of freedom of association in s. 2(d) protects a meaningful process of collective bargaining.
