Overview
With the new Saskatchewan Employment Act, pending federal labour law reforms, Alberta’s Bill 4 amending who has the right to strike and Ontario legislation under review, the labour relations world appears to be filled with change – and yet for practitioners many of these changes seem familiar. For those operating under collective agreements, change is less certain.
Join us as we “go back to the legislative future,” troubleshoot procedural pitfalls, review case management strategies and discuss noteworthy legal developments that will prepare you for the road ahead.
