Simon Mortimer Quoted in Canadian Labour Reporter

Hicks Morley’s Simon Mortimer was quoted in the September 3, 2013 edition of Canadian Labour Reporter in an article entitled, “New super-union Unifor targets unlikely membership.” The article discussed Unifor, the nation’s largest private sector union, formed from the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers union and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union. The article considered the consequences of such a large scale merge. Simon stated, “While unions have gotten larger, the overall membership numbers have continued to decline. I think it provides them with economies of scale on the union side – so that their purchasing power for the members is enhanced – but I don’t believe it has made their product more attractive.”
