Employee and labour relations is an exciting field that covers a wide variety of areas such as labour law, people management, and the relationship between workers and management in unionized workplaces. However, the focus of this webinar will be on your open shop model, or non-unionized workplace.

Unions have had a significant impact on corporate and people management practices and in many cases have influenced employers in non-union environments to adopt more progressive practices. This includes how employees are hired, how performance is managed and how discipline is administered.

This 2-hour introductory LR webinar will give our members in non-unionized workplaces a look into how to better understand your existing employee management practices.

We will cover such topics as:
Introduction to Labour Relations
Applicable Laws & Legislation
Labour Code vs Employment Standards- which apply to your workplace
Human Rights Code
Charter of Rights & Freedoms
Functions of Unions
Worker representation
Why workers may seek representation
How unions organize a workplace
Who commences certification action?
What is required to be certified?
The representation vote: Card Check vs. Secret Ballot – and why this is important
Employers rights and responsibilities during an organizing campaign
What is an “Unfair Labour Practice” and how to avoid
Effective communication strategies
Case Study
