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 would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude from Mr. Rory Morgan and Pamela, for the exceptional work you both did on my case with ICBC. Your professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly made all the difference for me. From the very beginning, you took the time to understand the nuances of my situation and provided clear explanation, compassionate guidance every step of the way for many years until the case settlement completed. Your skill in navigating the complexities of my ICBC case and your effective communication through email, Zoom meetings, phone calls, or in-person discussions was greatly appreciated. I also valued your understanding of the cultural differences I was facing. I appreciated Pamela and your prompt responses to my questions and the way you kept me informed throughout the process for the past years. It was comforting to know that I had someone so capable advocating on my behalf with ICBC and to give me peace of mind. Thanks to your hard work, we reached a favorable resolution, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I am incredibly grateful to have had you as my lawyer and would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of legal advice. Thank you both again for everything!

I will highly recommend Eoin Logan and KSW Law Firm to my family and friends. Eoin Logan provided exceptional service. He was professional, kind, thoughtful, and most importantly, he understood my needs. This was my first experience requiring legal assistance, specifically with immigration matters. At the time, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about the next steps. I contacted Eoin, who provided a comprehensive overview of the situation and explained all the details clearly. He offered the support I needed when I felt most vulnerable. Regarding pricing, I initially anticipated it would be quite high, given my lack of experience with legal services. However, Eoin assisted in negotiating with the office, resulting in a very favourable deal. The case was successfully resolved, and the problem was addressed, all thanks to Eoin’s diligent efforts. While I hope no one ever needs a lawyer, if you do, this is the firm to choose.
