For “good labour relations sense”, turn to the
convenient, comprehensive text that is the choice of labour professionals
across Canada. You’ll quickly come to rely on its useful features, such
as:
- A current consolidation of the Canada Labour Code, the Canada
Industrial Relations Board Regulations, 2001, plus 11 other ancillary
enactments
- Thousands of case law digests, covering both reported and
unreported decisions of the Board and the courts, fully annotating the Code and
the Board Regulations, including many new cases considering the substantive
amendments made to Parts I and II of the Code
- Exhaustive cross-referencing to related provisions.
The 2008 edition of The Annotated Canada Labour Code
provides you with insight into the interpretation and application of Parts I
(union concerns), II (safety & health) and III (labour standards, leaves,
terminations, recovery of wages, sexual harassment).
Highlights for the
2008 Edition:
- Canada Industrial Relations Board has confirmed its right to
review settlement agreements and to enforce their terms;
- the obligation of good faith negotiations following a strike
vote;
- the right of employers to raise allegations of union coercion
during the certification process;
- further edification on the issue of when employers will be
considered to be “actively engaged” in the longshoring industry;
- on Part II concerns, clarification is provided as to when
parties can interfere with accident scenes;
- further elaboration is given on the necessary content of safety
officer directions;
- on Part III matters, the court confirms the necessity of
decision makers to avoid familiar or friendly interactions with witnesses
during a hearing as well as commenting on the binding effect of settlement
agreements on parties.
