Overall, three in five Canadians believe that unions have had a positive impact on the workers they represent.
When asked how they thought public- and private-sector unions have affected the economy, Canadians in general, and unionized workers, men older than 54 were the most negative in their assessments, the institute said. In contrast, women aged 18 to 34 had the most positive responses.
Unionized workers have been fighting for higher wage gains and other improvements as they seek to win back some of their lost purchasing power from breakneck inflation and rising interest rates. Earlier this year, 155,000 federal employees went on strike, one of the largest strikes in Canadian history, noted the report.Article contentConservative voters were more likely to say unions in Canada are too powerful, while NDP voters were more likely to say unions aren’t powerful enough. Liberal voters were somewhere in the middle, with half saying Canada is in the “Goldilocks zone of union power,” according to the report.
