A January 2015 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada recognized a Charter-protected right to strike when collective agreement negotiations break down, while also acknowledging that many employees in the public sector provide essential services and the maintenance of these essential public services during a work stoppage is a proper concern for governments and public sector employers. In September 2015, Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour initiated a focused consultation process to gather feedback around an alternative approach to dispute resolution for those parts of the broad public sector subject to compulsory arbitration and not permitted to strike and lockout. This resource presents the results of this consultation.
