LAWS 2014

This is a survey of the institutions and legal concepts related to labour-management relations in Canada: the status of participants, union organization and certification, unfair labour practices, collective bargaining, conciliation, the collective agreement and arbitration, industrial conflict, the union duty of fair representation, internal union affairs, and the impact of the Constitution on labour relations law. An attempt is made to examine the law of labour relations as an example of responses by the legal system to an evolving social problem in the context of changing economic and technological conditions of the new globalized economy.
