On the use of section 107, there's no doubt about it: It erodes labour relations. There are lots of reasons for that. I don't think it's fair to say that labour disruptions are simply the result of unions going on strike. That's a myopic view. It's the result of a breakdown in labour relations. It's a breakdown of collective bargaining. It takes both parties to bargain responsibly in order to achieve a fair and good outcome.
When section 107 is used, it removes any incentive to bargain in good faith in the period leading up to what could possibly amount to being a dispute.
