Labour Relations & Union Advice

Recent changes to the Labour Relations Code by the NDP have been worker-centric and focused on unions and less in the interest of employers, making it imperative that employers  become prepared for a union organizing drive.

At this time, Employers have 5 business days from the filing of the application to the hearing and secret ballot vote—not a lot of time to react. However with the introduction of Bill 10-2022 on April 6, 2022, there are further potentially significant changes impacting an employer’s ability to respond to sudden union drives, certification applications, investigations, strikes, negotiations etc.

The new Bill introduces a return to the automatic “card check” method for union certification, without any vote.

Unions take advantage of employers who do not have the time to react to an organizing drive. If you have an urgent need for advice in any of these areas we encourage you to call Mike (604-250-0090) or Chris (604-591-7321) – available to you 7 days a week.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Eoin Logan about potential legal actions I might pursue in certain matters. He was professional, providing insightful suggestions and advice on the steps I could take, should I choose to move forward. I am grateful for our Zoom meeting and left feeling confident that I have viable options for a solution. I highly recommend him!

I cannot recommend Fiona M. from KSW Law Firm highly enough! From the very first consultation, she stood out as empathetic, understanding, and truly invested in my case. Fiona took the time to listen to my perspective and made me feel heard, which is so rare. She has an incredible ability to identify the key issues in a case and explain them clearly, ensuring I was always informed and confident about our approach. What impressed me most was her genuine care for my best interests. Unlike many lawyers who seem eager to close cases quickly or maximize their fees, Fiona prioritized what was best for me every step of the way. She consistently had my back, advocating fiercely and making me feel like more than just a client. If you're looking for a lawyer who combines professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication, Fiona is the one to call. She is a true gem in the legal world!
