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 want to extend my sincerest thanks to Kevin Scott and all the amazing people at Kane Shannon Weiler for their outstanding performance, yet again. We have been clients at KSW for close to 40 years and there is a reason for that. Every member on staff including the Partners themselves has always exercised care and compassion in everything they do.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the lawyer Anthony Urquhart @ KSW Lawyers and his team Carolina Gray and Karen Ibarra for their professionalism, integrity and great communication skills. I would use KSW Lawyers again. They are highly recommended.

Chris Ness is excellent. His assistance with estate tax issues and incorporations, following the loss of a family member and related financial matters and tax filings, was invaluable. He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, and accessible. Highly recommend his services.
