Buried deep in the Kaplan Report on the Canada Post labour dispute are lessons for the future of government intervention in labour disputes and collective bargaining. Governments need to pay attention: “How will #CanadaPost dispute end?” lawofwork.ca/how-will-the-c…

New #Substack post! "The Absurdity of North American Professional Sports Collective Bargaining" In which I discuss how players on most Canadian sports teams are non-union but we pretend they aren't & what it would mean if we ACTUALLY applied the law. open.substack.com/pub/thelawofwo…

Latest #CanadaPost “final offer” includes a signing bonus, which is a tool employers sometimes use to try and persuade a majority of employees to vote for the deal. Watch for govt ordering “final offer vote” soon if CUPW doesn’t put offer to vote. thestar.com/business/canad…

That's the fun part of #Bill5. The not-fun part is the Conservatives can also just designate a project or area and then waive all requirements to obey labour laws in that area. It's the developing country race-to-the-bottom approach to economic development. Yay.

The difference btwn #HR Law & Labour Law here. HR Law perceives collective bargaining as business risk to be staunchly resisted. HR lawyers specialize in risk management. Labour Law perceives CB as an economic & social good that gives workers voice, power, & > share of wealth.

False. Bill 5 permits the cabinet to override any statute it likes, including labour protection statues. Overriding human rights and labour relations could violate Charter, bit Charter wouldn’t stop govt from circumventing employment standards legislation.

Rarely do governments order collective bargaining disputes to binding arbitration when the employer doesn’t want arbitration. Binding arbitration is most often ordered when the union has some power and it doesn’t want arbitration.
