Summary:
Given that the right to strike in not constitutionally protected, the failure of the EIA to include a strike or a lockout as a ground for extending a claimant's qualifying period cannot be seen as an infringement of the right to associate as guaranteed by section 2(d) of the Charter. Parliament's decision not to extend the qualifying period of claimants in those circumstances does not interfere with the freedom of those claimants to associate in a trade union.
