It is clear that, if section 107 is applied as intended in Bill C‑39, an employer will have no reason to reach a settlement or bargain with the union.
In some cases, it can take 18 months of bargaining to reach an agreement with the employer. In other cases, it can be a month, and sometimes it can be a matter of days.
An employer that doesn't have to deal with a strike has no incentive and will always put the lowest offer on the table, knowing that the government will intervene and the matter will end up in arbitration. Unfortunately, arbitration isn't a win-win solution. One side always comes out very bitter, and that causes bad relations between workers and management.
Usually during the bargaining process, the employer puts their final offer on the table, supposedly their best offer. Now, no employer is going to do that, knowing that the federal minister is going to intervene and appoint a mediator to examine the situation, after which, the arbitrator will impose a labour contract.
