Union organizing drives can be both concerning and surprising for employers. They require a timely and strategic approach to communication and workplace management. In this webinar, Michael Watt and Michael Switzer will share valuable insights into the current union certification process, both in British Columbia and at the federal level.
Our speakers will discuss the latest legal updates on employer rights and restrictions during an organizing drive, hurdles for unions and common strategies used by unions. Reference will be made to recent decisions shaping the certification process. We will also discuss the decertification process which employees may access, including key hurdles for an application brought by ‘certain’ employees.
