Canadian Labor Law

Paper Summary:

The paper looks at the advantages and implications of excluding managerial employees from collective agreements under Canadian Labor Law. It examines the way different Labor Boards treat and rule on who should be excluded in each case.

From the Paper:

"Whenever a trade union in Canada applies for certification to the Labor Board, it undergoes a series of procedures before the Board acknowledges to the union that the latter, in fact, exists under the law. One of the steps that the union and a related employer(s) undertake is called the definition of the bargaining unit. This procedure involves submitting to the Labor Board a list of names of all employees in a proposed unit along with their positions and job descriptions. The purpose of this move is to pin-point those categories of employees that may and will be excluded from the proposed unit if found in the initial submission."
