Harvey Beresford Quoted in Law Times
Hicks Morley’s Harvey Beresford was quoted by Law Times while speaking at the Ontario Bar Association Institute conference in Toronto last week. The article, entitled “Workplaces must adapt, lawyers say” discusses the impact of the global economic downturn on “power bargaining” in both the public and private sectors. Beresford says that “unions and employers need to co-operate to preserve companies,” and discusses the need for sustainable approaches on both sides. He says that smart employers “will want the unions to know the business a lot better so the conversations they have are based on fact, based on data, based on understanding rather than who’s the biggest dog in the backyard.”
