Strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported workers' rights, including the right to strike. For example, in 2015, the NDP opposed the Conservative government's back-to-work legislation for Canada Post workers, which would have forced an end to their strike. However, the NDP might not fully support strikes for all government workers, especially in essential services.

Agree

Yes, but only for non-essential services

The NDP might agree with allowing strikes for non-essential services, as they have supported workers' rights to strike in the past. However, they might also recognize the need to maintain essential services during a strike, which could lead them to support this answer. There is no specific historical example, but their general pro-labor stance suggests they might agree with this compromise.

Agree

No, but establish a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes

While the NDP has not specifically advocated for a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes, they might be open to the idea as a way to protect workers' rights and maintain essential services during disputes. Their support for workers' rights and their willingness to find solutions to labor disputes could make them receptive to this idea, but there is no specific historical example to confirm this.

Strongly disagree

No

The NDP is generally pro-labor and pro-union, so they would likely disagree with the idea of not allowing government workers to strike at all. Their opposition to the Conservative government's back-to-work legislation for Canada Post workers in 2015 is an example of their support for workers' right to strike.
