Canada unions clash with Carney over right to strike

Canadian unions are opposing Prime Minister Mark Carney's Building Canada Strong Act, which would give Ottawa clearer powers to intervene in legal strikes in federally regulated workplaces. The bill adds conditions before the government can use Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, but unions say it still weakens their leverage. CUPE, representing 800,000 workers, has voted to defy the limits if passed unamended.
