As corporate interests in the Canadian marine sector continue their assault on workers’ right to strike, SIU Canada is taking a stand. We’re addressing the misleading messages being pushed by corporate lobbyists to policymakers and shedding light on the truth about this fundamental right. ✊ #ProtectTheRightToStrike
MYTH: Strikes harm the economy
FACT: The right to strike protects workers and ensures fair treatment, building a stronger, more sustainable economy in the long term. Without it, exploitation thrives. Let’s set the record straight: workers’ rights are non-negotiable.
MYTH: Striking workers are to blame for supply chain delays.
FACT: Strikes highlight systemic issues caused by employers failing to negotiate fairly. The real problem isn’t workers—it’s corporations prioritizing profits over people. Workers are the backbone of every supply chain, and our voices must be heard.
MYTH: Strikes only serve workers’ interests
FACT: Strikes benefit everyone by creating safer workplaces, fair wages, and stronger industries. When workers thrive, businesses and communities thrive too. The right to strike is about building a better future for all.
