The biggest difference with C-89 (which I don't support) and what Ford has done is the mediation process. The Federal bill empowered a mediator-arborator chosen by both parties to force a resolution. They did take away the right to strike, but the union and government did still bargain.
Ford has unilaterally imposed a new contract on their workers and denied them the right to strike with very severe financial consequences.
They are similar on their face, but the Ford legislation is levels of magnitude worse.
