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 needed so advice whether to proceed with legal options. Jenson took the time to explain my options. The pros and cons of different options. I was apprehensive at first as I had no idea of the different legal options. Thank you for the consultation and clearing up alot of unanswered questions I had. Professional team at KSW Lawyers. Thank you once again.

We had an excellent experience with Jasmeen and Parmvir as part of our selling our home They are thoughtful, detailed and patient with our asks. Went out of their way to answer all types of questions from us and accommodated the asks in an extremely professional and well-versed manner. It is apparent that they are experts in their fields and appreciated their advice throughout this process. They made it a lot more stress-free given the complexity of these transactions.

Thanks a million to KSW Lawyers specially Mr. Jenson Leung for free, kind and knowledgeable advise, my wife and I are extremely grateful to you. We only think of legal support when things didn't go right; getting an honest and unbiased legal advise, and if that comes free of cost, this means a lot! We' hope no one should need a legal service, but if you really need, I'll recommend KSW Lawyers! Last but not the least, I like to make mention of Ms. Lisa Nguyen for setting up this consultation. She was prompt, kind and very detail oriented; thank you Lisa.
