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.

Thank you so much for the best support that I got from Kanchan & other staff members from last 1 & half years. I never had to think twice when I had to decide anything regarding the divorce with my husband because Kanchan always read my mind. I don't even feel that she is my lawyer, I just feel that she is my family member now. Thank you so much Kanchan for all the support during the day of mediation especially because I was very scared that I wont get proper justice. Thank you so much to your team members as well. Thank you for all your support. I had very good & positive experience.

I’m writing to you to express how absolutely grateful I am to have Kanchan represent me during this very difficult time. She and her team have been brilliant, supportive and really understand my situation. I truly feel well cared for and would recommend Kanchan and her team to anyone seeking professional representation. She has really helped me get my feet back on the ground as my world was spinning, I really cannot thank her enough.

I am very grateful for the time and care Kirsten took to review our situation and answer our questions in detail. Although this was an initial consultation, her explanation was clear, thoughtful, and extremely reassuring during a very stressful time for our family. She helped us understand the process ahead and what to realistically expect, without rushing or pressuring us in any way. We truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness, and would not hesitate to reach out again if legal assistance becomes necessary. Highly recommend.
