LABOUR RELATIONS / LABOUR LAW / COLLECTIVE BARGAINING [top]
Labour relations relates to the relationship between a company and its unionized employees. A wide range of disputes may arise in the labour relations domain. Typically, the company and union will each retain counsel to represent their interests in labour relations matters. Normally, individual unionized employees do not retain independent counsel, but there may be limited occasions where doing so is recommended.
If you are a company or a union facing labour relations issues, or you are an individual unionized employee who feels it is in their interest to retain independent legal advice, you may wish to consult counsel to assess your position.

CANADA LABOUR CODE [top]
The Canada Labour Code governs the employment relationship of those employees working for federally regulated companies in Canada. Federally regulated companies include, without limitation those engaged in banking, telecommunications, broadcasting, shipping and transportation. Like provincial employment standards legislation, the Canada Labour Code provides for minimum requirements and obligations with respect to wages, overtime, hours of work, termination pay and vacation pay, among other things. In addition to the foregoing claims, if you have been dismissed without just cause from your employment with a federally regulated company, you may be able to launch a claim for "unjust dismissal" which may allow you to claim a broad scope of remedies, including possibly, reinstatement to your position. If you feel you have been unjustly dismissed from your employment with a federally regulated company or you are a federally regulated company facing a claim of unjust dismissal or other alleged violation of the Code, it may be in your interest to consult legal counsel. |
