111.0.17. If of the opinion that a strike may endanger public health or safety, the Tribunal, on its own initiative or at the request of an employer or of a certified association in a public service, may order both parties to maintain essential services in the event of a strike.
For the same reason, the Tribunal, on its own initiative or at the request of a service, undertaking or enterprise not referred to in section 111.0.16 or of a certified association in that service, undertaking or enterprise, may order both parties to maintain essential services in the event of a strike, if the service, undertaking or enterprise, because of the nature of its operations, is comparable to a public service. In such a case, the service, undertaking or enterprise is considered a public service for the purposes of this Code.
The Tribunal may, in addition, render a decision under the first or second paragraph at the request of a person other than a party, if it considers that the person has a sufficient interest.
From the date the Tribunal’s decision is notified to the parties, the exercise of the right to strike is suspended until the certified association concerned meets the requirements of sections 111.0.18 and 111.0.23.
