    Event Synopsis:

    Labor laws that cover all facets of the rights and duties of employers, labor unions and employees have always been different in each jurisdiction.

    In the United States, unions represent less than seven percent of the private sector workforce, while in Canada, private sector unionization approaches 20% . Furthermore, labor and employment issues for most Canadian companies are mostly addressed at the provincial level rather than under national, federal law. That means that while Canadian labor laws are often seen as more 'union friendly', the actual rules vary from one province to another.

    Although the broad, topic outlines of Canadian labor unions and laws often have comparators to United States' labor laws principles, there are always material, differences on how each jurisdiction administers and enforces them. For example, in many Canadian jurisdictions, "card based" certification is the rule.

    In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will present to the audience an in-depth comparative analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in the Labor Laws of the United States and Canada.

    Key topics include:
    • Labor Laws: U.S. and Canadian Perspective
    • Federal and Provincial Jurisdiction: U.S. and Canadian Trade Union Rights
    • Certification by Cards alone and votes
    • Unfair Labor Practices:
    • Collective Agreements
    • The Union's Involvement In Regulating Marijuana in the Workplace
    • Marijuana in the Workplace: Regulations and Legal Framework
    • Union Strikes, Lockouts, and Replacement worker restrictions
    • Employment Standards Legislation
    • Drug testing and privacy
    • Enforcement Mechanisms
