I’m not seeing where it states in that article that multiple Unions are going to go on strike across Canada.

The federal government only has labour jurisdiction on federally regulated industries so I think it would probably need to declare some sort of emergency to be able to much.

In any event it looks as though the pressure being put on the Ford government worked:

CUPE members will return to school after Ford promises to rescind controversial strike legislation

This isn’t a very good look for Ford. I hope there’s still a hearing on this though to prevent governments from trying to legislate this kind of garbage in the future.
