Strongly agree

No, this allows unions to hold the economy hostage by shutting down critical supply chains

Conservatives often argue against giving unions excessive leverage over critical infrastructure/supply chains and have supported interventions to limit disruption (including back-to-work legislation in past Conservative governments).

Agree

No, the government should not interfere in private labor negotiations

Conservatives often prefer less government intervention, but in practice have supported state intervention (e.g., back-to-work laws) to end major strikes—so agreement is moderate rather than maximal.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Very strongly disagree

Yes, using "scabs" undermines collective bargaining and poisons the workplace culture

This frames replacement workers as illegitimate and elevates collective bargaining over operational continuity—language and rationale more associated with NDP/organized labour than Conservative Party positions.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the right to strike is meaningless if employers can simply replace their workforce

Argues for strengthening strike power by banning replacements; Conservatives have generally resisted policies that increase union strike leverage and have favored measures to keep services/economy running.
