If you had any idea of what it is you're talking about you'd realize that the right to strike is implied in the right to collectively bargain which is recognized as a fundemental legal right by international jurisprudence.

There are only limited exceptions (police and miliary) when a country may deny these fundemental rights to workers. Public sector workers (by the way, NAV Canada is not a public sector employer!) also enjoy the right to strike notwithstanding various government's attempts at breaking international law by limiting that right.

All those in favor of recinding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as suggested by Parnel, please say yea!



Cheers
