I disagree. On the contrary, I think the proposed legislation is intended to protect workers' right to strike.

We do that by actually changing section 107 and ensuring it's explicit that it cannot be used to prevent a worker's right to strike. In fact, it cannot be used pre-emptively. It must be contemplated only once a later dispute has begun.
