Labour Relations & Union Advice

Recent changes to the Labour Relations Code by the NDP have been worker-centric and focused on unions and less in the interest of employers, making it imperative that employers  become prepared for a union organizing drive.

At this time, Employers have 5 business days from the filing of the application to the hearing and secret ballot vote—not a lot of time to react. However with the introduction of Bill 10-2022 on April 6, 2022, there are further potentially significant changes impacting an employer’s ability to respond to sudden union drives, certification applications, investigations, strikes, negotiations etc.

The new Bill introduces a return to the automatic “card check” method for union certification, without any vote.

Unions take advantage of employers who do not have the time to react to an organizing drive. If you have an urgent need for advice in any of these areas we encourage you to call Mike (604-250-0090) or Chris (604-591-7321) – available to you 7 days a week.

Courtney was professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable throughout my case. She took the time to explain many aspects I didn’t understand, which made all the difference for me. What could have been a complex process felt clear and manageable. I truly appreciated her support and guidance and highly recommend her. Thank you!

A couple of years ago, I had talked to several lawyers about a Will Variation case and I didn't get a great feeling about them. However, when I met with Andrew Zacharias of KSW Lawyers in Abbotsford, it was an entirely different experience. He spent a lot of time talking to me about the details of the case and about my life experience relevant to it. Legal issues are not usually peoples' favorite thing as they often take a long time and there's often stress involved. Andrew's clear communication, empathy, and efficiency made the whole experience much, much more positive. At the end of the process--which, I'll add, was extremely successful--my sister and I really felt that we had a friend in our corner rather than just a lawyer representing our interests. Andrew's professionalism was outstanding and his specialty in Will Variation was evident throughout the process. Five stars are not enough.

I spoke to Jenson about my termination and severance concern and he took a very careful look at my case and offered good advice. I would highly recommend him if you have concerns regarding employment law.

Although a very difficult period in life, the team at KSW, Kanchan and Cindy were super to deal with. I truly appreciate the support and the guidance that was provided to me.
