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.

We had an outstanding experience working with Aman S. Bindra at KSW Lawyers. From start to finish, Aman was highly knowledgeable, attentive, and exceptionally thorough. He supported us through several key milestones, including incorporating our company, securing a construction mortgage, and closing on a property. At every stage, Aman took the time to explain the process clearly, address our questions, and ensure nothing was overlooked. His responsiveness and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in good hands. Aman brings a level of professionalism and care that’s hard to find. We highly recommend him and the KSW Lawyers team for anyone looking for reliable, experienced legal counsel.
