How to prevent labour disputes from shutting down Canada’s critical supply chains
About this episode
Derrick Hynes, president and CEO of FETCO, which represents federally regulated employers in sectors including rail, ports, airlines, and telecommunications, argues that Canada needs a new way to prevent labour disputes from shutting down critical supply chains. He makes the case for earlier intervention—including special mediators with enhanced powers—before work stoppages bring key infrastructure to a halt. This Labour Day edition of Hub Hits explores when the right to strike collides with the national interest.
