Abstract/Citation
Implements reforms to the industrial relations provisions of Part I of the Canada Labour Code to provide for a new framework for collective bargaining. Creates a representational board, the Canada Industrial Relations Board, with powers to administer the collective bargaining regime; requires parties involved in a work stoppage to continue necessary services to protect public health and safety; requires the maintenance of services affecting grain shipments in the event of legal work stoppages by any third parties in ports; makes the undermining of a trade union's representational capacity during a strike or lockout an unfair labour practice; and improves access to collective bargaining for off-site workers.
